Christie Barton
"I'm learning to color outside the lines. The journey is fabulous!"
"Aspen Valley"
Aspen Valley is a quilt within a quilt. The quilt is a leaf, with stems and veins and shape. The quilt is also a watershed, the mountains ring the valley, and the streams flow down from the mountains to form the river.
"Growth Rings" My family is like a tree, strong, bends in the wind, and still growing. 1607 was the founding of the Jamestown Colony. The Native Americans were already here when the settlers arrived, and they are symbolized with a spiral in the center of the tree. One of my ancestors fought in the American Revolution. My sisters and I are the acorns around the tree.
"Steers" Our group is an eclectic gathering of artists, loosely organized into the Art Quilt Association (AQuA). We don’t have a Board of Directors; we have a Steering Committee, which we call the Steers. AQuA cuts loose the bonds of tradition, like the wires in the quilt, in order to range free.
