Quilting Girls Painting

This early 1978 watercolor by P. Buckley Moss captures a timeless moment between two quilters, their delicate hands tracing the stitches of a handmade quilt. The painting showcases Pat’s signature style—graceful, elongated figures with expressive faces, their soft features exuding a quiet sense of focus and connection. Outside the window, the familiar bare trees, so often present in her work, frame the scene with a sense of stillness and tradition.

The quilters, likely mother and daughter, seem to be engaged in conversation—perhaps discussing the precision of the stitches, the history behind the fabrics, or planning their next piece. Their clothing, detailed down to the tiny buttons, reflects the care and authenticity Pat pours into her work. The quilt itself, a testament to patience and artistry, mirrors the qualities of Pat’s watercolor technique—soft, fluid, and deeply expressive.

Quilting has long been an art form, passed down through generations, with each piece carrying a personal story. Used for warmth, celebration, and remembrance, quilts represent a blend of function and beauty. Much like painting, quilting requires a skilled eye for color, texture, and composition. Through this “Quilting Girls Painting”, Pat honors both crafts, preserving a moment of shared creativity.

To own this original painting is to hold a one-of-a-kind piece of history—no prints exist, making it a rare and deeply personal connection to Pat’s early work. It is a celebration of tradition, craftsmanship, and the enduring beauty of handmade art.

Description

Quilting Girls Painting

P. Buckley Moss’s early watercolor painting from 1978 captures a quiet moment of shared tradition between two quilters, their delicate hands carefully examining the intricate details of a handmade quilt. This Quilting Girls Painting reflects the artist’s unmistakable style—graceful figures with elongated, expressive faces, their serene expressions conveying a sense of deep concentration and connection. Through soft, flowing brushstrokes, Pat brings a warmth and intimacy to the scene, inviting us into a world where craftsmanship and storytelling are interwoven.

The two women, likely mother and daughter or perhaps teacher and student, sit together in the glow of a nearby window, framed by the signature bare-branched trees so often seen in Pat’s work. Their postures suggest an intimate discussion—perhaps they are admiring the precision of the stitches, recalling the stories behind the fabrics, or deciding on the next quilt pattern to be created. Their quiet focus on the quilt mirrors the patience and devotion required in both quilting and watercolor painting, making this piece a celebration of both arts.

Every detail of the “Quilting Girls Painting” has been rendered with care—the folds of the quilt drape naturally in their laps, the girls’ dresses are adorned with tiny buttons, and the subtle variations in color bring the fabrics to life. There’s a timeless quality to the scene, a reminder of the generations of quilters who have passed down their skills, preserving history and personal memories in each stitch.

For centuries, quilts have served many purposes—providing warmth, marking milestones, and even telling stories through carefully chosen fabrics and patterns. Much like an artist with a brush, a quilter creates with intention, blending color, texture, and emotion into a tangible, lasting piece of art. In this painting, Pat captures not only the skill but also the unspoken bond between artisans, making it a truly special piece.

Owning an original painting like this, with no printed reproductions in existence, means possessing a singular work of art—one that carries the artist’s very hand in every brushstroke. It’s a piece of history, a tribute to early American craftsmanship, and a moment forever preserved in Pat’s delicate and thoughtful style.
