TACTILE ARCHITECTURE™
Light at the End of the Tunnel (56” x 47”) by Becky Ray. Inspired by a photograph by Eric McCarty (www.TriOutdoors.com) and used with permission. Inspired by the work of Esterita Austin.
Buildings have a long history of inspiring the creative designs of quiltmakers. In the 19th century, American quilters developed classic architectural patterns such as Log Cabin, Schoolhouse, and Brick Wall. This annual juried exhibit challenges quiltmakers to create works based on architectural themes and inspirations.
