It's nice to see what was once dismissed as 'women's work' finally
getting its due. The once-humble quilt, now widely hailed as an art
form, takes center stage in Georgia Quilts. With this lush 304-page
tome, Georgia becomes the latest U.S. state to proudly claim a
scholarly study of its quilts . . . Georgia Quilts offers more than
quilts. It gives us the women who made them and 200 years of the
Georgia in which they lived. It shows that so-called women's work
is as much a part of the fabric of our state's heritage as wars and
politics. Amen to that.
