From the International Quilt Museum:
Lamb made at least a dozen quilts that re-interpreted religious art produced during the Medieval and Renaissance periods. She drew particular inspiration from The Book of Kells, an illuminated manuscript of the Gospels drawn by monks in Britain or Ireland around 800 C.E. Using mid-twentieth-century domestic linens and gaudy clothing discovered at thrift stores and garage sales in Portland, Oregon, Lamb transformed the images into textile works.
