Bravo to Suzi Parron and Donna Sue Groves for bringing to light the colorful and rich history of the barn quilt movement. It's a tale of heart, hope, and deep rural roots. . . roots that started in Adams County but spread quickly across the land. Parron's deep research and Donna Sue's love of the subject provide a unique chapter in America's art history. Happily, a country road is no longer the same." — Doug Weaver,  publisher, Kansas City Star Books, "Parron and Groves have documented these trails with full-color photographs that show how imaginative many artists have become, incorporating butterflies, horses, flags, and other natural and man-made designs within the more abstract geometries of traditional barn quilts. The text profiles many of the artists whose work dazzlingly enlivens America's farm country."   --  Booklist, "Barn quilts are a perfect fit with our area; they are an excellent companion to the other ag-tourism opportunities in Green County. This has been a great project because it ties the entire county together with an artistic rural theme, promotes county-wide pride, and gets our visitors to all the communities for a true adventure in exploring the roads less traveled along the way." -Noreen Rueckert, Green County, WI Tourism, "Bravo to Suzi Parron and Donna Sue Groves for bringing to light the colorful and rich history of the barn quilt movement.

Synopsis
Silver Medalist in ForeWord's Book of the Year Awards competition, Crafts & Hobbies category The story of the American Quilt Trail, featuring the colorful patterns of quilt squares painted large on barns throughout North America, is the story of one of the fastest-growing grassroots public arts movements in the United States and Canada. In Barn Quilts and the American Quilt Trail Movement Suzi Parron takes us to twenty-five states as well as Canada to visit the people and places that have put this movement on America's tourist and folk art map. Through dozens of interviews with barn quilt artists, committee members, and barn owners, Parron documents a journey that began in 2001 with the founder of the movement, Donna Sue Groves. Groves's desire to honor her mother with a quilt square painted on their barn became a group effort that eventually grew into a county-wide project. Today, quilt squares form a long imaginary clothesline, appearing on more than three thousand barns scattered along one hundred and twenty driving trails.With more than eighty full-color photographs, Parron documents here a movement that combines rural economic development with an American folk art phenomenon., With more than eighty full-color photographs, Parron documents a movement that combines rural economic development with an American folk art phenomenon., The story of the American Quilt Trail, featuring the colorful patterns of quilt squares painted large on barns throughout North America, is the story of one of the fastest-growing grassroots public arts movements in the United States and Canada.

    Shipping was quick, packaging was able to keep the books safe and undamaged, the books were even better than described and in excellent condition so much so that I could barely tell they were used rather than new, and all for the best price I could find anywhere for the whole set I purchased. Will certainly be favoriting this seller so I can look here first for books I want in the future.

  • "Must have for barn quilt trail searchers"

    Excellent history of the origin of barn quilts and explains every aspect of barn quilt programs and projects. The authors' history behind a number of the barn quilts just added to the already enjoyable reading. The book contains a number of beautiful photos , with descriptions and names of the quilt patterns. A book that quilters and non-quilters will enjoy . If you love old barns and/or quilts, by the time you have read the book, you are already making plans to find a quilt trail to visit. We are already looking forward to receiving Suzi Parron's next book, due out in the near future.

    I wouldn't buy an ex library book again. The encoding on the spine was still left on from the library and was hard to remove. The last page was stamped by the library, and I had to use liquid paper to cover it up. The price was as much as a new book would have been.
