quilt
32. "Joy"
Barbara Grothaus
Cincinnati, Ohio
Hand-dyed (by self), cotton fabrics, 1 commercial batik, cotton/poly blend batting, glass beads, hand-dyed perle cotton.
I called this piece "Joy" because quilting is a joy of my life. I started 20 years as a traditional hand piecer and quilter. As I learned, created and traveled the world, I have become an art quilter. This piece is inspired by textile folk art of Central Asia and India. Using a traditional block, hand-dyed fabrics, and beaded embellishments, I am telling my own story, creating a style of my own.
