TP - Tricia Patterson - Quilter Exchange & Fiber Art Studio

I’m proud to say I’m a published quilt designer and author, having designed my own quilts for 20 years. In addition to working with fabric designed by others I enjoy hand dyeing and printing the fabric I use. I love all genres of quilting: traditional, modern and art quilts, and I particularly enjoy hand applique, working with a mix of substrate fibers and adding embellishments to create art quilt-like designs with a traditional foundation. I’ve come to look at my quilts as my artistic expression, embodying creativity, along with my need for structure and organization. I’m in my zone as I begin with a concept taken from nature, the world around me, or gain inspiration from a theme or special event that just begs for a quilt. My creative synergy evolves as the design becomes a final product.
