Barn Quilts and the American Quilt Trail Movement

Swallow Press/Ohio University Press announced one of its newest publications, Barn Quilts and the American Quilt Trail Movement by Suzi Parron with Donna Sue Groves. From the website:
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, community 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 120 driving trails.
With more than eighty full-color photographs, Parron documents a movement that combines rural economic development with an American folk art phenomenon.
