Ann Brauer - Creating Art Quilts that are Landscapes of the Imagination

Send a textIn Ann's words - "For 40 years I have been making original quilts that use color, fabric and tradition to create abstract landscapes of the imagination."Ann's creations are made one strip of fabric at a time, and are so evocative of wide open outdoor spaces. They range from eyeglass cases to a 140-ft series. She gives us a little tour through her studio (open to the public!) and even her village in Massachusetts, which supports artisans of all kinds. We chat about creator's block and how to get around it, fabric choices and storage, and even good reasons to have works-in-progress at your fingertips.Here's where you can find Ann:http://www.annbrauer.comhttp://www.etsy.com/shop/annbrauerhttp://www.instagram.com/annbrauerquiltWant to try free motion quilting but don't know where to start?
