Zen and the Art of Quilting is an exploration of what quilters know in their hearts: Their favorite craft is so much more than a means to an end -- it is a process filled with meaning, community, spirituality, family, and love. A quilt is simultaneously a work of art and a comfort on a cold night; it is infused with its creator's story and with the story of women; it sets the creative imagination free and delves into the depths of our souls.

The Sleep Quilt is unlike any other quilt you will have seen. Commissioned by Tracy Chevalier, it is entirely stitched and quilted by prisoners in some of Britain's toughest jails. Each of the 63 squares explores what sleep means in prison. A moment of escape for some, for others a dark return to all they most regret in life, sleep has a great significance in jail that is only strengthened by the difficulty of finding it in the relentlessly noisy, hot and cramped environment. By turns poignant, witty, lighthearted and tragic, The Sleep Quilt shines a light on lives that few outside can guess at. An essay by Tracy Chevalier and an introduction by Katy Emck of Fine Cell Work, the charity that made the quilt possible, as well as many quotations from prisoners, frame this remarkable work.
