Autorenporträt

Dolores Bausum and her husband, Henry, a retired professor of history from the Virginia Military Institute, traveled extensively for many years. During these travels Bausum found herself increasingly interested in collecting fabric folk art. In 1985 she began designing quilts and locating superior quilters, eventually establishing a shop, Quilters of Virginia, in Lexington, Virginia. Works from her shop were included in the U.S. State Department's Art in Embassies Program and displayed abroad in two American embassy residences. The Bausums make their home in Beloit, Wisconsin.
