It Tells My Story is a gorgeously illustrated art book showcasing thirty-four quilts from the Yvonne Wells Collection at the International Quilt Museum at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. Yvonne Wells is an acclaimed artist from Tuscaloosa, Alabama, whose narrative quilts are immediately recognizable. Using bright colors and bold designs, Wells's quilts include references to biblical stories, the Civil Rights Movement, and moments from her life. Among the more than ten thousand objects in the International Quilt Museum permanent collection, Wells is the most represented artist.
Essays by quilt historians Teresa Duryea Wong, Carolyn Ducey, Kyra E. Hicks, and Sharbreon Plummer discuss Wells and her place in the art world. It Tells My Story highlights Wells's most beloved quilt series, The Seven Deadly Sins, which Wells describes in her own words. The vibrancy and vitality of Wells's creations are featured throughout the book, including the backs of many of Wells's quilts, which have never been published before, bringing to life the extraordinary work of this renowned quilter.
