Description: "Dorothy Zopf was not planning to start a new career when she and her husband moved to a village in northern New Mexico. But with the completion of their hand-made adobe house and her children and grandchildren far away, she welcomed the opportunity to join a group of quilters at La Iglesia de la Santisima Trinidad in Arroyo Seco. Sharing lunches, scraps of fabric, and stories led Zopf to begin collecting quilts from small towns across the state.

Gradually she developed a questionnaire for documenting patterns and techniques and compiled a photo log of the quilts. Now Zopf presents the quilts, their histories, and the stories she collected at senior and community centers around New Mexico."--BOOK JACKET.
