Artist Statement

Peggy McGeary

Quilt making is a new adventure. I began quilting in 1999 and am self-taught. Using the many how-to-books, I learned about batting, binding and constructing a sleeve.

Because I don’t enjoy working in symmetry and matching corners, my designs are mostly improvisational, using color rather than motif. I rarely measure or work with templates.

I enjoy the tactile qualities and the unlimited color ranges of working with fabric. Quilting awakens my intuitive sense of color, texture and light and best expresses my artistic vision.
