Stitch Theory
- The story of Kestrel's fraught relationship with stitching.
Kestrel started as a fine artist before evolving into a quilter. Even though she was creating art with fabric for over a decade, Kestrel’s early works could not be considered quilts because they were missing one key component: the stitching. The idea of adding quilting proved quite the hurdle to cross, but it was one she had to figure out in order to become part of the quilt world.
This presentation is the story of Kestrel’s fraught relationship with stitches: from necessary evil to integral part of the design. She will cover:
- The development of her current quilting techniques
- How she incorporates the use of other non-fabric mediums
- Why she pays attention to weird shadows at quilt shows
