Quilters Etching by P. Buckley Moss

Content & Subject

Quilters Etching by P. Buckley Moss is a hand-signed and titled, numbered, limited edition etching from the Moss Etching Collection and the Quilting Collection. This touching artwork depicts two women seated by a window, working together on a large, beautifully patterned quilt. Each patch in the quilt tells its own story, stitched with symbols of love, faith, and tradition.

Through this piece, Moss celebrates the art of quilting, not only as a craft but as a symbol of community, heritage, and shared memory.

Style & Technique

Created as a small edition etching, Quilters Etching demonstrates Moss’s mastery of fine line etching combined with her folk-art style. The detailed quilt patterns are contrasted against the softer rendering of the women and interior, drawing attention to the fabric as the focal point.

The muted yet warm palette evokes the coziness of home, while the vertical window behind them suggests a quiet winter’s day—an ideal time for quilting indoors.

Mood & Inspiration

The mood is intimate, warm, and nostalgic, reminding viewers of simpler times when families gathered together and handmade quilts carried stories across generations.

Moss was deeply inspired by Amish and rural traditions, and quilting was central to that culture, serving both as a necessity and an art form.

Placement & Gift Ideas

Quilters Etching is perfect for sewing rooms, craft studios, or cozy home spaces where family traditions are honored.

As a gift, it’s meaningful for quilters, sewing enthusiasts, mothers, and grandmothers, or anyone who treasures the bonds of family heritage.
