Sewing Stories: Harriet Powers' Journey from Slave to Artist by Barbara Herkert

4.0

Herkert's depiction of Harriet Powers and her art left me feeling inspired and eager to learn more about this artist and her legacy. The collaboration with illustrator Vanessa Brantley-Newton is inspired and incredibly well done. And I was happy to see that Herkert included a explanations of the stories recorded in Powers' two surviving quilts at the end of the book.
