Barn Quilts: Folk Art to Modern Obsession
Across the United States and into Canada quilts have gone from bed cover to barn side; sewing needle to pain brush, fabric to wood, and traditional block design to original art. Quilts have transformed both American architecture and the landscape.
In 2001 the first 10'x10' Ohio Star Block was painted on an herb farm barn in Ohio. This juxtaposition of quilts and architecture became an American Art Movement.
How did one woman's love for her mother, a passion for quilting, and pride in Appalachian history explode into The American Quilt Trail Movement?
What part of the movement was strategic marketing and how did it turn into a wildly popular obsession?
Read how the Schoharie County Quilt Barn Trail, NY became a microcosm of the Quilt Trail Movement, experiencing the excitement, growth, and evolution that Donna Sue Groves set in motion!
Quilt blocks morphed into a painting obsession wiht barns, without barns, with trails and without trails.
