A vital and tender record of the quilts that have shaped history — and the hands that stitched them.
Throughout history, marginalised communities have turned to the collective intimacies of quilting in moments of need. From the works of Faith Ringgold to social initiatives such as the Navajo Quilting Project, Many Hands Make a Quilt sews together stories of resistance, craft and community in intricate detail, preserving and honouring Black, Indigenous and working-class artistic traditions in naming quilters as artists and activists in their own right.
Written by Jess Bailey.
Edited by Laura Moseley.
Design by Chris Shortt.
Illustrations and first edition design by Saffa Khan.

“Bailey's engaging writing draws the reader in for a beautifully illustrated tour of the relationship between quilting and activism.” — Ferren Gipson
“Utterly beautiful and, ultimately, intensely political. A history of the myriad layers of quilting, it is, too, in its core, a history of love. Of tenderness. Of revolution. Of hope... The story Bailey is telling in her work is a story we all need to hear, now more than ever.” — Kerri ní Dochartaigh
