France Aubert studied Fine Arts at university, but it wasn’t until the 90s that she discovered patchwork.
Looking at antique quilts was so exciting that she took part in several editions of the Quilts de Légende challenge organized by France Patchwork, the French Quilt Guild. She loves reproducing textile works, particularly those from the 19th century.
Traditional blocks and their history are her passion, which she also shares with colors and fabrics. There’s nothing useless or superfluous in all this, but a response to her need to create from old models. She revisits them, redesigns them, gives them round or rectangular shapes. She works essentially by hand.
A collector of buttons from the Arts Deco period, she naturally likes round blocks like buttons. Also a keen painter, she reproduces some of her creations realistically in fabric.
