Cindy Grisdela
"Anatomy of a Improv Quilt"
September 10, 2024

Lecture Description:  Have you ever wondered how to create an Improv Quilt without a pattern? Where do you start? How do you know when it’s finished? 
​ 
About Cindy:  I’m intrigued by color, line, and shape. Working with fabric like a painter works with paint, I create dynamic contemporary compositions, cutting the shapes out freehand without a pattern or template and sewing them together with my sewing machine.
 
I come from a long line of women who have expressed themselves using a needle and thread, although there were no quilters in my family. Creating with various forms of fabric and thread has been a part of my life since I was a child, and I am self-taught as a fiber artist, with lots of experimentation along the way with mentors like the late Gwen Marston, and my studies with Nancy Crow. My formal education includes a BA in Fine Arts from the College of William and Mary and an MBA from George Washington University.
