Welcome to Litsy!

Closeup on "Lady's Shoe Quilt" by African American quilter Fanny Cork from 1890. Part of "Unpacking Collections: The Legacy of Cuesta Benberry, An African American Quilt Scholar," an exhibit at the DuSable Museum of African American History in Chicago. #quiltsandbooks #ladysshoequilt #fannycork #cuestabenberry #unpackingcollections #dusablemuseum #quiltbooks #americanquilts #africanamericanquilts #cozyreads

Found this one while searching for some #cozyreads. In addition to designing and making quilts, Chiaverini is the author of more than 25 novels. Might seem old-fashioned for some as it was published in 1999 and features a lot about quiltmaking and history, but it's also about multigenerational friendships. Here atop a quilt sewn by my grandmother.❤️#quiltsandbooks #quiltingwriters #jenniferchiaverini
