Description

“Studies in Color” an exhibit of art quilts by Chris Zurbuchen. This form of fiber art deviates from traditional, historical quilt patterns with an emphasis on design often with abstract or abstract-inspired pieces. Chris joined Miami Valley Art Quilt Network (MVAQN.COM) when she retired in 2012. MVAQN has monthly meetings studying different art quilt topics. In February 2025, she led the group on a study of Complementary Colors, which resulted in YS Water Towers as a study. Another color study is of trees in wooden frames. 

Her mother taught Chris to sew and that was reinforced with high school home economics and 4-H. Worklife took over with little time for sewing until retirement. A 2012 Christmas gift of a Singer sewing machine from her daughter helped with her new projects. Chris took her first traditional quilt class in April 2014.
