A fascinating chapter in American design history, stitched together with creativity, community and a healthy dose of New England ingenuity. The Folly Cove Designers celebrates the remarkable collective of predominantly women artists founded by beloved children's book author and illustrator Virginia Lee Burton Demetrios in Gloucester, Massachusetts.

Working from 1941 to 1969, the group created more than 300 distinctive block-printed textile designs inspired by everyday life, local landscapes and the natural world. Rich with pattern and history, this beautifully illustrated book is a celebration of women making art, making a living and making their mark.
