A little about Jim Hay...
"I am an artist first, a maker of quilts second. Cloth can be folded, stored and shipped. This is an advantage over other sculptural materials as well as large stretched canvas paintings. I taught myself how to use a sewing machine and have never attended a quilt class or workshop. The first time I went to a quilt festival was to accept a prize and I have been going to accept prizes ever since. These are not "Your Grandma's Quilts"; no maps, no patterns, no sketches. They are journeys of improvisation, full of energy, surprise and personal discovery. The sewing machine foot pedal is my gas pedal as I race around."
