For more than a decade, Marcia Kaylakie traveled Texas from the Panhandle to Big Bend country, from the Piney Woods to the Gulf, discovering thousands of quilts in Texas communities large and small. Their stories, and those of their makers, illustrate the state's rich heritage of craft and culture.

Thirty-four of the quilts and their histories are featured in the lavishly photographed volume "Texas Quilts and Quilters: A Lone Star Legacy." Don't miss this opportunity to witness this important segment of the fabric of Texas history, shown as only Marcia Kaylakie can show it.

Marcia Kaylakie is a quilt collector, teacher, judge and certified appraiser. Her lectures and workshops feature antique and vintage quilts from her own collection as she shows how American quilts reflect social, political and economic history. She also teaches quilt care, conservation, storage and documentation.

"Texas Quilts and Quilters: A Lone Star Legacy" features 182 color photos and one map in the 264-page hard cover with dust jacket book. Click here to purchase the book.
