Remembered childhood dream imagery forms the subject matter of May's quilts. This highly embellished quilt has a border which suggests a braided rug, and the entire surface sparkles with raised dots of paint. Adams creates striking geometric designs with satin stitch embroidery executed on a commercial sewing machine. She begins with a pieced fabric ground, which here is evident in the shadow images of several figure sevens. Fraas and Slade acheive realistic detail by painting with procion dyes on the surface of cotton cloth.
Frequent subjects are landscapes and references to other textiles.
Shie and Acord collaborate on heavily embellished quilts that carry messages of earth healing. Their Joker is based on the Native American 'shape shifter', who can take on the form of different creatures, much as this wild card can assume the identities of other cards in the deck. The Card back - No mention is made of the card back in either the pamphlet or the book, but the suit signs on it are taken from four cards in the deck.
