We had a delightful day with art quilter, Vikki Pignatelli.  At the daytime workshop, we learned her wonderful method of piecing curves to create organic designs, which are her expertise.

The evening program was both informational, about her path to becoming an art quilter, and a visual feast with her one of a kind, nature inspired quilted wall hangings.  If you missed meeting Vikki, you can check out her work at her website  www.vikkipignatelli.com/ or her blog Kindling the Creativity Within  http://nurturecreative.wordpress.com/

Here are some of art quilts that Vikki has made and that we had the pleasure of seeing at our guild meeting!  Vikki works with many hand dyed fabrics as well as batick fabric to help her get the different tones and textures in the natural world.  She does all the piecing and all the free motion quilting herself on her domestic sewing machine.
