A devoted photographer and quilter for over twenty years, Robyn includes her photography, art, and quilting skills in designs for travel quilts that currently are the Usa State Quilt Series, the Australia State Quilt Series, the Here Wildlife Series, as well as the Military Series honoring our U.S. service women and men.
Every Winddancer state quilt design is planned to display facets of specific states while mixing architecture, floral, wildlife, and history right into a cohesive quilt picture. Since neighboring states share many features, landscapes, and sporting activities, blocks may be interchanged to personalize your quilt with your own personal experiences.
