Rosie Lee Tompkins: A Retrospective 

If time is a factor, watch the first 3 minutes of the video and save the rest for later.

From BAMPFA:

"Rosie Lee Tompkins (1936–2006) is widely considered one of the most brilliant and inventive quiltmakers of the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries. Her reputation has grown to the point where her work is no longer considered solely within the context of quilting, but celebrated among the great American artistic achievements of our time."
