What are art quilts?
Art quilts are a fusion of traditional quilting techniques and contemporary artistic expression. Unlike their utilitarian counterparts, art quilts prioritize creativity and self-expression. These textile artworks, infused with personal stories, emotions, and symbolism, provide a tangible and tactile means of translating inner experiences into visual narratives. Additionally, art quilts allow the artist to blend creativity and sustainability. When creating an art quilt one can embrace the ethos of repurposing and recycling, thus giving new life to discarded fabrics, found items, and other materials that may have be cast aside.
