Description

Quilts and Health brings together a rich collection of health-related quilts, each with its own unique story to tell. From abstract patterns to poignant depictions of illness and recovery, these quilts demonstrate the powerful connection between textiles and well-being. The book features hundreds of quilts, accompanied by the stories behind their creation, from the makers' perspectives to those of recipients and healthcare professionals. This lavishly illustrated volume explores the long history of quiltmaking in relation to health and its continued significance in contemporary society. Through these vibrant and thought-provoking examples, Quilts and Health sheds light on the healing power of quilts and the deep connections between art and health.
