About the Cover Image
Freedom Is Fragile Velda Newman, 1986
Velda Newman, quilt maker and fiber artist, has won the Quilts
Japan Prize and was twice awarded the “Best in Show.” Her quilt
“HYDRANGEA” was selected as one of the 100 Best Quilts of the
20th Century. This powerful image of the Statue of Liberty posed in
front of an enormous American flag was made in celebration of the
hundredth anniversary of the dedication of the statue. More recently,
it was featured in a 2013 exhibition America the Beautiful at the Texas
Quilt Museum in La Grange. Newman lives in Nevada City, California.
