This richly illustrated book offers a glimpse into the lives and creativity of African American quilters during the era of slavery. Originally published in 1989, Stitched from the Soul was the first book to examine the history of quilting in the enslaved community and to place slave-made quilts into historical and cultural context. It remains a beautiful and moving tribute to an African American tradition.

Undertaking a national search to locate slave-crafted textiles, Gladys-Marie Fry uncovered a treasure trove of pieces. The 123 color and black and white photographs featured here highlight many of the finest and most interesting examples of the quilts, woven coverlets, counterpanes, rag rugs, and crocheted artifacts attributed to slave women and men. In a new preface, Fry reflects on the inspiration behind her original research--the desire to learn more about her enslaved great-great-grandmother, a skilled seamstress--and on the deep and often emotional chords the book has struck among readers bonded by an interest in African American artistry.

Finally… a dog chew that doesn’t become a homemade prison shank
Size: Medium
My dog has a real talent: turning every “tough chew” into a sharp, weaponized shard that could star in an episode of Locked Up: Canine Edition. But THIS chew? Absolute game changer. For the first time ever, I can relax—no splinters, no pointy edges, no fear he’s secretly crafting a shiv under the couch. Just happy, safe chewing that actually lasts longer than five minutes. It’s durable, it’s safe, it keeps him busy, and I no longer feel like I’m living with a furry little inmate planning an escape. Highly recommend if your dog chews like he’s got nothing but time.

Would buy again
Size: Small
Would have given 5 stars, but my dog was able to chew this down pretty quickly, so not the most durable. I do like that this is made with better material than other dog chews, so I would buy again.

Elephant in Blue
Its so cute but not made for heavy biting. It was ripped up in less than an hr. Very disappointed in quality. I was hoping it would last at least one month. Didn't even get two hrs. This is a puppy toy.

The most destructible toy
Easily destroyed My dog ripped through this thing within 2 minutes. The head popped off with nearly no resistance. The ears, legs and tail followed very quickly after. Seconds later the stuffing was everywhere. Complete waste of money

My little Yorkie loves this donkey!!
Oh my goodness this little donkey is sooooooooo cute! I bought it for my Yorkie as a birthday present and he went bonkers with it! He absolutely loves it! My other two boys wanted it so bad but Frank was not letting it go! LOL It was so funny. He kept a watchful guard on this particular toy! The donkey is actually almost bigger than he is at only 4.9lbs! That doesn't stop him however.. he carries it around with him. The donkey is very well made. It has a cute squeaker inside which he loves. He likes to bite it over and over to make it squeak! LOL It seems to be pretty chew resistant. This toy is a great value for the price! I can't say enough about it and I most highly recommend it! Your babies will love it!
