The Joy it Brings - A one-of-a-kind Fiber Art Quilt by KAREN HAMPTON

ART QUILT TITLED: Willow Mist - A one-of-a-kind Fiber Art Quilt by KAREN HAMPTON

DESCRIPTION: This fiber art quilt is a unique piece created by Karen Hampton and inspired by Marie Webster’s White Dogwood and Pink Dogwood quilts and the Arts & Crafts Movement. Some of the same Arts and Crafts ideals from the early 1900s still apply today, especially to art quilters.

ARTIST STATEMENT: The Arts and Crafts movement valued quality materials and design, as well as a meaningful life, shaping the world we live in now. I follow its philosophies every day and incorporate them into my work. I also greatly value craftsmanship, the natural beauty of materials, and the beauty of nature. It brings me great satisfaction and joy.

MATERIALS: Hand-dyed cotton, surface-designed background fabric enhanced with fabric paint and silkscreened designs, heavy wool thread, cotton batting, and silk thread quilting.

SIZE: 32” x 41 ½”
