Barn Quilt Memories

Barn Quilts are Art! and the art of the barn quilt is both the art of the community and the art of community. Travel with me, and explore the growth of a grassroots art movement.

Donna Sue Groves

There must surely be many ways to thank Donna Sue Groves for all of the hard work and inspiration in starting her Quilt Barn project, and a National Quilt Trail. Here are two web pages that should be included in any accolade and introduction to what Donna Sue has done. Follow the links below... I will let others tell the tale...

In Genesis of a Dream, read about the history of the the Quilt Barn art movement.


From: http://www.quiltalliance.org/

Read the June 2008 interview with Donna Sue Groves as she discusses her quilting, the beginning of the Quilt Barn art movement, and our... "need to come together, for people to have an opportunity to meet one another, to share their stories, to talk. The project, even though it's about quilting and barns it is also about celebrating our rural heritage and building on our own unique assets."


Thank you Donna Sue

About Me

I am as I appear, and not. I am grounded, yet my spirit soars free. I am stable, but prone to extreme spontaneous moments. I am docile, until my passions are ignited or challenged. I am the yin and the yang, can simultaneously blow hot and cold, a sad little man, that can be funny I’m told. I enjoy walks by the water, sunny days, and nights with soft breezes. I like music with rhythm and rhyme, a cool blue downbeat sort of rock and roll most of the time. Then there is a classical urban Celtic sort of world roots music that makes me feel just fine. I enjoy animated conversations about things that matter; mystery or fact; trivial this and trivial that; but sometimes grow weary of small talk and chat. I am honest (what did you expect me to say), but sometimes confused. Always excited by creativity; art for art’s sake; a desire to grow; become better not bigger, wiser and not just smart. If you ask me if the glass is half empty or half full, I would want to know what’s in the glass. It might make all the difference.
