Bobbi and Carol Gilham Jones had the good fortune of meeting at a San Francisco Bay Area quilting retreat in 1990. The friendship that grew out of their meeting soon included working together on quilts, despite their geographic distance. After collaborating on many quilt projects over the years, they wrote their first book together,Tile Quilt Revival: Reinventing a Forgotten Form, which was published by C&T Publishing in 2010.
