About Barn Quilts and the American Quilt Trail Movement

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 through which this movement has flourished across America.

Suzi's journey began in Adams County, Ohio, where the quilt trail movement originated. After working with founder Donna Sue Groves, Suzi set out on her own voyage of discovery. She travelled across the country, sometimes alone, sometimes with her faithful barn-quilting pup, Gracie. Together they met dozens of barn owners, barn quilt artists, and committee members who shared their stories.

The tales of the trail are gathered into this book, published in 2012 by Ohio University Press. The book includes more than eighty full-color photographs; it has become a favorite of quilters, travelers, and other fans of Americana.
