Kathy Tracy
“A little History of Quilting”
July 12, 2016
Kathleen Tracy is a quilt pattern designer and author who made her first small quilt from a Martingale pattern book she picked up in 2000. Making quilts for her daughter's American Girl dolls sparked an interest in history and led to the publication of her first book, American Doll Quilts, in 2004. Kathleen looks to antique quilts for inspiration in making her scrappy quilts from simple blocks and hopes that her books make the past come alive and give quilters a connection with quilters from long ago. She is also the author of Prairie Children & Their Quilts, Remembering Adelia and The Civil War Sewing Circle. A new book on small quilts will be published in December 2016.
Kathleen is a frequent lecturer to quilt guilds across the country and conducts workshops on making small quilts with an antique look. In addition to quilting, Kathleen is an avid reader and loves gardening, cooking and making simple beaded jewelry. She has two grown children and lives near Chicago, Illinois, with her husband and mini-poodle pup, Ophelia.
