Quilted Bargello Wall Hangings
Firm Profile
Bold, colorful, one-of-a-kind quilted bargello and compass wall
hangings, designed and made by award-winning Massachusetts
quilter Ann S. Lainhart, can be made to order to fit any residential
or commercial space or color scheme. The use of color families,
usually eight fabrics from light to dark, gives Ann’s bargello
pieces depth and movement. Her compass pieces have kaleidoscopic
centers from her careful cutting of the fabric.
Specialties
Bargello designs date back to the Middle Ages. Using only
straight lines, they make curved designs that are pleasing to the
eye. Ann uses prints, rather than solid fabrics, so the pieces are
interesting both from a distance and close up. Compasses have
been used as motifs in quilts for more than 200 years, but the
wonderful fabrics now available and the way Ann uses the fabrics,
give these compasses wonderfully complex center designs.
