Inhaltsangabe

Virginia Driving Hawk Sneve tells her own story and the story of her family. An expert quilter, she recalls her grandmother, Flora Driving Hawk, teaching her how storytelling enthralls and how a quilt can represent all that holds a family together. "I think of how she and her woman friends sat around the quilt frame, gossiping, laughing, sighing as they stitched the joys and sorrows of their lives into the quilt."

Von der hinteren Coverseite

Renowned author Virginia Driving Hawk Sneve here tells her own story and the story of her family. Also an expert quilter, she recalls her grandmother, Flora Driving Hawk, who taught her how storytelling enthralls and how a quilt can represent all that holds a family together. Completing the Circle demonstrates the same patience and attention to detail that Sneve lavishes on her quiltmaking. A quilt should be handed down for generations as a visible sign of love and tradition; this book has the same goal. It includes stories told by and about Flora Driving Hawk, about Sneve's great-grandmother, Hannah Howe Frazier, and about still elder ancestors, Maggie Frazier, Pejutaokawin the medicine woman, and the extraordinary Hazzodowin.
