Book Summary
Flora Botanica: Quilts from the Spencer Museum of Art (2009) is a richly illustrated catalog and commentary that grew out of the Flora Botanica exhibition at the Spencer Museum of Art in Lawrence, Kansas, curated by Barbara Brackman in collaboration with Susan Earle . Featuring around 30 floral-themed quilts spanning from the late 18th through early 20th centuries, the volume explores how American quiltmakers reinterpreted botanical motifs—often drawing from classical, folk‐art, and international decorative traditions rather than literal plant imagery (for example, stylized pomegranates, tulips, and hexagonal “Grandmother’s Flower Garden” designs). The catalogue includes provenance, symbolic interpretation, and historical context for each quilt, and also provides five modern quilt projects based on historic patterns, allowing quilters to recreate antique floral designs in the present day .

About the Author
Barbara Brackman (born July 6, 1945) is an American quilt historian, author, and quilter who has made a profound contribution to textile scholarship. Long associated with Kansas City Star Quilts and C&T Publishing, she's renowned for authoritative works such as Encyclopedia of Pieced Quilt Patterns, Clues in the Calico, Facts & Fabrications, and Civil War Sampler—many drawing on historical fabrics, patterns, and compelling narratives of women's lives . Serving as honorary curator of quilts at the Spencer Museum, Brackman curated the Flora Botanica exhibition and wrote its accompanying catalogue, blending aesthetic appreciation with scholarly analysis . A Quilters Hall of Fame inductee (2001), she remains a leading voice in fabric historiography and floral motif interpretation.
