Featured Quilt - A Quilt That Warms Your "Heart'
Path to My Heart by Barbara Brady was featured as part of the "In the American Tradition" Exhibit (Sponsored by AllBrands.com) at Houston International Quilt Festival 2024. This exhibit was described as, "Contemporary quiltmakers often look to the art form's rich tradition and history for inspiration for their own works. This exhibit features recently made quilts that incorporate traditional blocks, styles, and/or techniques."
For her quilt, Barbara took that prompt and decided to run with the traditional quilting concepts of using your scraps and yo-yos. She says, "Quilters have oodles of scraps. I took hexagon graph paper and designed hearts connected with paths. The hearts were tones of red, and the paths white. The rest of the Yo-Yos were scraps. I decided to connect them on six sides, rather than four, to eliminate toe snags." |

Texas Tech: Quilters Express their Political Opinions Through Quilts |
|
|
|
|
|
From the Museum of Texas Tech University: "Quilters have a rich history of using their skills to convey political messages through their work. Today, many quilts reflect views on issues such as the environment, women's rights, and the rights of various ethnic groups.
While it might seem like a modern trend to use quilts as a form of political expression, women have long used their needles to voice their opinions—especially during times when they didn't yet have the right to vote."
Here are some of those quilts.
