Abstract (en)

Presents data from fieldwork in Maine, including participant-observation in three quilting groups, interviews with quilters, and a survey of the Maine state quilters' guild. Draws attention to the importance of Show and Tell as an oppositional practice in the changing context of quiltmaking (e.g., commodification) and the social role of women at the end of the 20th c.
