Meet Your Representative Annette McFarlane

My love for fabric is genetic. My paternal grandmother worked in a coat factory in England, and I started sewing a wool coat in high school home economics class. My first quilt was created from blocks my maternal grandmother made from fabric she used to make my mother's toddler dresses.

I ventured from traditional to art quilts because of the freedom it allows an artist; no rules, just be creative using a multitude of techniques. The beautiful Northwest I call home offers daily lessons in natures colors and textures. Photographs of my visual world inspire my work and help me find natures essence in fabrics and materials. I use both hand dyed and commercial fabrics and continue to take workshops to improve my skills. My genetic code allows me to respond to fabric.
