Quilting Art

by Spike Gillespie


"Quilting is a craft, rich with tradition and homespun, practical applications.  But it’s also an art--which, with needle, thread, fabric and an idea, can give us a new way of looking at, and wrapping ourselves in, the world.  This book profiles twenty American practitioners of that art, quilters whose fascinating, innovative work takes the craft one step further and makes it into something new.  These remarkable quilters describe their inspiration and methods and show us several examples of their best work.  Quilting Art serves as an idea book for quilters, as well as a gorgeous representation of the quilter’s art."

BRIEF BIO

Jane lives with her husband, Randy, four dogs, and three lovely cats on 40 acres just 1/2 mile from the busy “town” of Rabbit Hash, KY.  “My mother never knew why I lived in the country because I was such a city girl.  Having lived in rural KY for almost 30 years I guess that is no longer true.”  The view from their cabin porch includes part of the Ohio River and, in the winter, the skyline of Rising Sun, IN.  Jane also shares a studio in Cincinnati, OH (30 miles away), where she has attended a weekly drawing group for 20 some years.

To help preserve the Rabbit Hash General Store built in 1831 and three other wooden buildings, which make up downtown Rabbit Hash, a fundraiser to elect a mayor was held.  The candidate with the most votes won, but every vote cost a dollar, and you could vote as many times as you wanted---a typical Kentucky election, perhaps. The votes were tallied on November 2, 2004, and our black lab Junior is now the Mayor of Rabbit Hash.  He will serve until his death and has no special duties but to make people smile.
UPDATE ON MAYOR JUNIOR

Mayor Junior passed away in mid May just 2 days shy of his 13th birthday.  He died on his own at home and is buried in our woods by his parents.  He lived a long and happy life and, for an aging childless couple (Randy and I), he was our "A student". Another mayoral race is underway, and it has more candidates than ever.

CBS Sunday Morning is doing a segment on our election.  To read more about the election visit the links below.
