The way Phyllis Biffle Elmore feels about the quilt that her Grandmother Lula gave her is how I think many quilters hope others feel when we give them a quilt. 

With significant history and mesmerizing storytelling Phyllis has written Quilt of Souls transforming oral tradition into a beautifully written document, powerfully presented and preserved for posterity.  She stitches together true tales of racism, sexism, and colorism, but also strength and pride, creating a multigenerational patchwork honoring her family and ancestors.

This is the quilt that Phyllis' Grandmother Lula made for Phyllis and a picture of Lula Horn.

This was the last quilt that Phyllis' Grandmother Lula made when she was over 100 years old

And this quilt Phyllis calls it Smokey Quilt.  It was in a fire but wasn't destroyed.
