Andi Perejda, Speaker and Workshop

Supply list for July 10 workshop, Dazzling Dogwoods

Andi Perejda is an award-winning quiltmaker, teacher and NQA Certified Quilt Judge. She began quilting in 1991 and her interest and enthusiasm in all facets of quilt making continues to grow. She is well known for her hand quilting and hand appliqué, however her interests are not limited to these.

Andi regularly enters regional and national shows and has won many prizes including Best of Show, Best Innovative Design, Merit Hand Quilting, Appliqué Master, and First Place Naturescape Art Quilts. Her quilts have been published widely in periodicals and books. Her whole-cloth quilt, Silver Splendor, has traveled to Japan with AQS and to Barcelona with IQA.

Andi teaches workshops for quilters and has a self-published pattern for a pieced Circle of Illusion, which originated with her innovative quilt, Just Plane Fun. This technique was featured in show #926 on Simply Quilts (HGTV).

Getting up close to other people's quilts is also something Andi enjoys as a certified quilt judge. She finds it exciting to discover the creative touches and details that all quilters bring to their work and she delights in their accomplishments.

She’s doing a trunk show at our meeting.

Her appliqué quilt, Whigged Out on the West Coast, has been patterned by Quilters Newsletter Magazine and published in their 2004 Wall Calendar. It has also traveled to Quilt Expo at The Hague with IQA.

Her art quilt, Branching Out, traveled to Lyon, France with IQA in June, 2006.
