France Aubert

  • Traditional quilts
  • France

France Aubert has a university background in Fine Arts, but it was not until the 1990s that she discovered patchwork.She feels deeply moved when looking at old quilts, so much so that she participates in several editions of the Quilts de Légende challenge organized by France Patchwork. She enjoys recreating textile works, particularly those from the 19th century.The traditional blocks and their history are her passion, which she also shares with colors and fabrics. Nothing useless or superfluous in all this, but a response to her need for creation based on old patterns. She reinterprets them, redraws them, and gives them round or rectangular shapes. She works mostly by hand.A collector of Art Deco buttons, she naturally loves round blocks like buttons. Also passionate about painting, she realistically reproduces some of her fabric creations.

A Passion for Samplers

The Sampler: originally an introductory book for learning the basics of traditional patchwork. With a library of thousands of different blocks to tell stories in a quilt, it first appeared in the 1830s and has been enjoying a resurgence of interest recently. You can’t truly be a modern artist without going back to your roots. Making a sampler is like diving into an album teeming with blocks. Each block bears a name linked to American fauna, flora, social, political or religious history. To perpetuate this diversity, using traditional blocks, redesigning them, sometimes giving them a round or rectangular shape, allows us to create original compositions. Revisiting a single block, repeated over and over again, gives you the opportunity to play with colors and tones even more. The tops of large quilts are separated into several portions, quilted separately and then reassembled using a personal technique inspired by quilt-as-you-go. Assembly, appliqué, embroidery and quilting are all done by hand. The joy of making utilitarian works … or not! But always with enthusiasm and passion.
