We wear it, use it, and create it. In the Fall/Winter issue of Oklahoma Humanities magazine, we're revealing the fabrics and connections woven into everyday life. How wool shaped war; how Hmong paj ntaub records culture and resilience; how African wax prints reflect international trade; how sewing sowed social movements and unions; how Rilla Askew makes the case for the United States as a crazy quilt; and how Oklahoma poet Wilma E. McDaniel featured physical and figurate fabric in her work. Some threads are meant to be pulled!

Authors and contributors include: Rilla Askew, Pamela Chew, Dr. Trish FitzSimons, Madelyn Shaw, Dr. Tracy Floreani, MC Floreani, Dr. Karen Neurohr, Terri Lynn Cummings, and Vivian Finley Nida.
