Hidden
in Plain View: A Secret
Story of Quilts and the Underground Railroad
When quiltmaker Ozella McDaniels told Jacqueline Tobin of the
Underground Railroad Quilt Code, it sparked Tobin to place
the tale within the history of the Underground Railroad. Hidden in
Plain View documents Tobin and Raymond Dobard's journey of
discovery, linking Ozella's stories to other forms of hidden
communication from history books, codes, and songs. Each quilt,
which could be laid out to air without arousing suspicion, gave
slaves directions for their escape. Ozella tells Tobin how quilt
patterns like the wagon wheel, log cabin, and shoofly signaled
slaves how and when to prepare for their journey. Stitching and
knots created maps, showing slaves the way to safety.
The authors construct history around Ozella's story, finding evidence in cultural artifacts like slave narratives, folk songs, spirituals, documented slave codes, and children's' stories. Tobin and Dobard write that "from the time of slavery until today, secrecy was one way the black community could protect itself. If the white man didn't know what was going on, he couldn't seek reprisals." Hidden in Plain View is a multilayered and unique piece of scholarship, oral history, and cultural exploration that reveals slaves as deliberate agents in their own quest for freedom even as it shows that history can sometimes be found where you least expect it
Designing
Tessellations :
The Secrets of Interlocking Patterns
Designing Tessellations opens the door for quilters to
thousands of new and exciting patterns by showing them how to
create tessellations--designs made up of the repeated use of
seemingly complex but deceptively simple shapes that interlock
perfectly to flow across a quilt. Inspired by artist M.
C. Escher, Jinny Beyer introduces quilters to the fascinating
world of symmetry and then clearly shows how to experiment with
shapes and images to create sensational, tessellating designs.
Quilters will not only learn how to produce interlocking
geometric patterns, but also will learn how easy it is to create
true-to-life images of birds, fish, butterflies, and more in the
style of Escher. Features include: - More than 125 color
photographs and 2,000 step-by-step color drawings - Dozens of
quilts featuring tessellated designs
