In \u003ci\u003eBarn Quilts and the American Quilt Trail Movement\u003c\/i\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThrough 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith more than eighty full-color photographs, Parron documents here a movement that combines rural economic development with an American folk art phenomenon.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Suzi Parron, Donna Sue Groves\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0804011389\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780804011389\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Swallow Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/22\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 244\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.90h x 7.90w x 0.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e IndieFab awards - Silver Medal Winner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/15\/2011 pg. 11","brand":"Suzi Parron","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43947210670335,"sku":"9780804011389","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_b7753a09-be18-42ed-a1f7-676b2433cdd6.jpg?v=1681517380","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/barn-quilts-and-the-american-suzi-parron-9780804011389","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
