Kentucky Quilt Trails: Views and Voices

This book about a rural community arts movement spreading across Kentucky is also a piece of art in itself. "Kentucky Quilt Trails: Views and Voices" documents the evolution of Kentucky's Quilt Trails and highlights what the quilt symbolizes to Kentucky's literary and visual artists. The Kentucky Arts Council invited artists that have received the distinguished Al Smith Fellowship awards and Professional Assistance awards, as well as photographers adjudicated into the Visual Arts at the Market Program to participate in this project. Community Scholars certified by the Kentucky Folklife Program were also invited to share their collected stories and documentation of the quilt patterns, the barns and the people who make up the Kentucky Quilt Trails.

"I hope you’ll pay reverence to all the quilters of the past who have put their creativity and cleverness on display in the form of quilting the next time you see a quilt, whether it's one made of fabric and batting or one made of wood and paint. Or even one you encounter in Kentucky’s vibrant literature."
