You did what in the ditch?

the long version

"Arguably, the American quilt is the quintessential example of folk art. And beyond argument, quilting is crucial to the study of the history of American women. Like all folk art, quilting established a defined culture with tangible traditions. You Did What in the Ditch? relays the folklore of this culture. Author John Oldani, Ph. D., a folklore archivist who has produced and judged national quilt shows, examines the vocabulary, sayings, folk beliefs, superstitions, folk poetry, historical significance, and even the graffiti of the American quilter. Find out what quilters do 'in the ditch', what they do with 'betweens, ' and where they hide their 'pigs.'"--Amazon
