Aunt Sallie's lament
Rare Books
"The artist Margaret Kaufman describes 'Aunt Sallie's lament' as 'a poem that is the autobiography of a spinster quilter stitched with mutterings that accumulate as the cut pages are turned becoming a diamond quilt shape'. The poem tells the story of a southern American quilter reminiscing about a love lost but not forgotten. Each stanza of the poem is accompanied by a muttering, one or two words printed at the edge of the page, which remain in view as each subsequent page is turned. The variously shaped leaves are made up of a complex series of cut out pastel paper shapes that mimick the patterns of a quilt."--from Artstor.org.
