Undeniably, Elizabeth Barton is one of our area's most talented fiber artists. 

This is LEGACY, which I photographed at a recent fiber arts show at the Blue Ridge Center for the Arts. 

For many, quilt making is an exercise--exploring or learning a technique and displaying "homework", if you will. 

For some, it is the skilled copying of another's design that the maker wants to keep for him/herself. 

But for others, each piece has meaning and message. That's the kind of quilt artist Elizabeth Barton is.
