CattleTrack Couture
Fashion by Rachael Ellis

As the second collaboration with Janie Ellis at Cattle Track, Lucy Diggs brings alive the life and times of the Ellis Family and early Scottsdale. Through photographs, stories and the vision, creativity and skills of Rachael Ellis, fashion and utilizing material on hand are the seeds of this beautiful book. Dennita Sewell, Curator of Fashion Design at Phoenix Art Museum and Janie Ellis, daughter of Rachael and George Ellis, have created a tribute to the art, the life and the accomplishments of a true pioneer woman.

Filled with the photographs of the stunning creations, complemented by details of the fine handwork, Rachael's resourcefulness, creativity and skills were the fountain from which we can now witness this collection of her work and her life.

Old Dyes, New Quilts

Old Dyes, New Quilts
by Lucy Diggs

A stunning book of the quilted creations of Lucy Diggs, a personal expression of textile beauty as well as a glimpse into the history and meaning behind the patterns. (The early days of quilting sprang from necessity, community and love. Nothing went to waste so it was natural that fabric from your husband’s old shirt or a worn dress was the source from which snippets were sewn together to create warmth for the children. And then, the satisfaction of seeing a quilt that you made with your own hands and you made it out of nothing. Lucy takes you on her journey of the creation of a quilt, it’s beauty, complexity, and symbolism.) Being an artist and adventurous soul, Lucy takes us with her in the process of treating the fabric and dying it with all natural ingredients. A truly beautiful read, vicariously experiencing the labor of love that these quilts represent, enhances the visual impact of her creations.
