AUTHOR: Vyvyan Arata Rundgren has been involved in art all her life, from painting to needlework to quilting. She has created needlepoint and cross-stitch designs and painted with oil and watercolour, but after moving to Virginia in the 1990s, she also became interested in painted floor cloths. Experimenting with fabric and paper introduced her to the floor quilt and floor page concepts. She is still a quilter, a water colourist, needlepointer, and gardener. An instructor at the John C. Campbell Folk School in North Carolina, she serves on the board of her local art guild in Stanardsville, Virginia, where she is also the director for The Palette Art Gallery. 239 colour images Details ISBN 0764348752 ISBN-13 9780764348754 Title Floor Cloths, Quilts, and Pages Author Vyvyan Rundgren Format Paperback Year 2015 Pages 64 Publisher Schiffer Publishing Ltd GEItemID:136603325; About Us Grand Eagle Retail is the ideal place for all your shopping needs!
