Description
The American Quilt Trail Movement is one of the fastest-growing grassroots public arts movements in the United States and Canada. This story begins with Suzi Parron's journey through twenty-nine states and two Canadian provinces, visiting those who have contributed to its growth. Parron documents a movement that started with Donna Sue Groves' desire to honor her mother by painting a quilt square on their barn. The project grew into a county-wide initiative, eventually forming a long imaginary clothesline of over three thousand registered quilt squares on more than one hundred driving trails. With over fifty full-color photographs, Parron showcases the movement's unique blend of rural economic development and American folk art. Through dozens of interviews with key figures in the movement, Parron sheds light on the people and places behind this phenomenon.
