Darlene Barr quilts, but her quilting transcends the ubiquitous bed cover. Darlene used to paint with watercolors, but then quilting caught her eye and her imagination. Fabric can be pulled, distorted, layered and it is movable.
Darlene confesses that she doesn't follow directions well and, because of that, approached quilting as an extension of painting rather than sewing. She likes
the texture and the ease of moving components in a quilt design. She has an affinity for graphic art and enjoys playing with shapes and negative spaces.
She taught herself what she needed to know about quilting and the results are stunning.Along with her art pieces, she also produces table runners and pillows. Come by the Artisans' Co-op and see what she has to offer.
