Assembling volume one of this collection of unstructured short folk art stories, and the story quilts and drawings that accompany them in this book, has been an effort of love that originates from Gladys Unimuke WilburnÕs creative soul. The author has taken the reader on a sneak peek journey into the life of one strong-minded young girl.
The stories take place during the Jim Crow Segregation era in Fort Worth, Texas. They have been woven with the dream of youthful confidence, guarded in the hopes of family love, and fortified in the eyes of cultural history.
Gladys has been quilting, drawing, and telling her folk art stories for 20 years.
