Profoundly simple, meditatively subtle, or startlingly bold, scores of Amish quilts are reproduced here in color plates and inset close ups of stitch work. The authors explore what they see as a delicate tension between traditional and social change in Amish life, documenting a remarkable creative variation and individual expression Amish women achieve in their quilts despite the well-defined proscriptions of the particular communities. Rare photographs of the Amish by Susan Einstein capture glimpses of a culture that shuns the camera yet fascinates the outside world.
