Dare to Dance Art Quilts
I am proud to present a collection art quilts that reflects our individual expressions of dance and joy. Artists were challenged to create an 18 x 30 inch quilt that reflected the theme, “Dare to Dance: An Artist’s Interpretation of Joy”. Each created their own personal version that told their own unique story. Some quilters found joy in those happy memories with family. Some expressed their joy in overcoming steep obstacles. Others created a quilt to express support for social causes. Still others simply wanted to share the joy they feel when dancing. Each has a story to tell.
60 quilts that best reflect the wide range of talent, techniques, and vision in our current quilt community are included in my upcoming book, Dare to Dance Art Quilts (Schiffer 2014). 30 of these pieces were selected to travel for the next two years.
