Kathy McNeil, 2022 QuiltFest Teacher
Kathy
McNeil’s
work
features
hand
appliqueing
thousands
of
little
scraps
together
to
create
quilts
that
look
like
paintings.
Often
with
over
a
hundred
different
fabrics,
Kathy
revels
in
adding
small
details
and surprises for the viewer to find. Her quilting adds an additional dimension of texture.
Kathy
writes,
“Every
creative
act
begins
as
a
connection
between
the
artist
and
their
world.
Exploration
of
that
moment
of
inspiration
fuels
the
process
of
telling
a
story
and
making
art.
Results
are
never
predictable,
as
the
discovery
is
different
each
time.
A
mastery
of
techniques
and
design
will
be
noted
and
appreciated
by
others,
but
will
the
magic
that
inspired
the
artist,
reach
out
and
touch
someone else? When it does.... something big is shared.”
