Blue Ridge Quilt Festival 2012

Featured Artist:

Annette Kennedy

From Longmont, Colorado
12FeatArtKennedyCollageI have always been an avid amateur photographer. These things coupled with my love of fabric and color have lead me to my journey of creating landscape and pictorial art quilts from personally taken photographs. Occasionally I will work from a drawing, but I usually work from photos.

I most often construct the surface of my quilts with raw-edged fused applique, but will occasionally do machine and hand applique. By machine I do piecing, free motion embroidery, beading, and quilting. I use commercial, hand-dyed, and hand painted fabrics. I paint on the surface of my quilts to add detail, texture, and depth with shadow elements. Emphasis is placed on quality workmanship.
