Life Stories by Barbara McCraw

Retired teacher and pathologist Barbara McCraw is a Master Quilter whose pieces have been exhibited across North America and Europe.

Barbara says, “My artwork is most influenced by my imagination, the encouragement I receive from my friends and the memory of my mom. I think of her the most while I’m sewing; I think of how steadfast and hardworking she was and at once, my patience grows for the tedious work sometimes involved in quilt making. Satisfaction with the results is much more important to me than how long it takes to get there.”
