"Huntsville, Texas, resident Martha Mitchell, a self-taught painter who worked in oils for years as a hobby, became increasingly well-known for the fine quilts she produced."--BOOK JACKET. "Mitchell's quilting form is firmly rooted in the folk tradition. As a child in Kentucky, she learned the basic skills of quiltmaking from her mother. In the years that followed, she completed more than one hundred handmade quilts, working with traditional folk patterns, but also exercising her own creativity in modifications that often resulted in a more complex and sophisticated art."--BOOK JACKET. "Martha Mitchell of Possum Walk Road is Melvin Rosser Mason's story of Martha Mitchell and her art. On page after page Mason runs text and illustrative material, with a profusion of color plates and details that particularize the art of one of the nation's finest quiltmakers."--BOOK JACKET.
