Book Signing and Discussion
Pieced Symbols: Quilt Blocks from the Global Village
by Dr. Myrah Brown Green

Part global quilting travelogue, part cultural history, this artful, useful guide gives quilters all they need to create a variety of foundation piece quilt blocks featuring symbols from across the world. The designs range from the Asian om and Australian rainbow spirit to the American Indian turtle and African ankh. Each chapter features inspiring examples of how to incorporate the symbols into finished quilts, while tip boxes throughout share interesting information about their meanings and cross-cultural uses.

Dr. Myrah Brown Green is Executive Director of Tell Mama Now, a master quilt artist, author, a Distinguished Lecturer of Art and holds a PhD in Art History. Founder of Tell Mama Now, Dr. Green wants to give girls who are interested in art or just want to stimulate their creative genius, an outlet where they can be exposed.
