When Robyn Jones wants to relax, she strolls along the unspoiled mountainside of her Colorado where you can visit her horse, Winddancer, the idea for her company name and logo. There, she could also comprehend the abundance of wildlife inside the adjacent National Forest including mountain lions, bear, elk, chipmunks, and antelope, all of which further inspire her designs. Winddancer designs are inspired by Robyn’s extensive travels through the Usa, Australia, Europe, and Asia. A passionate photographer and quilter for upwards of 20 years, Robyn brings together her photography, art, and quilting skills in designs for travel quilts that currently range from the Usa State Quilt Series, the Australia State Quilt Series, the Down Under Wildlife Series, as well as the Military Series honoring our U.S. service women and men.
Every Winddancer state quilt design is planned to produce areas 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 personal experiences.
Robyn works closely together with her Australian artist husband, Kevin, and every design is utilized by real life experiences or photographs of her travels. The completed designs are generated in to a computer template that is separated into layers bobs for quilting, then many versions are created to find a very good coloring for that final quilt. Importantly, each quilt design needs to be planned employing a common palette of colours. This allows blocks to be interchanged along with other state and country designs, so quilters can make their very own “Travel Quilt” or “Where I’ve Lived Quilt.”Winddancer Creations quilts are designed with simplicity in your mind in order that entire families can enjoy developing a special quilt. Hawaii designs can be used as a record of a family’s travel experience and some blocks, as an example the Wild Mustangs block in the Utah State Quilt design, can be created by children as young as 10-14.With Winddancer designs, color and layering are utilized extensively to produce detail. Patterns from other designers in many cases are a lot more complex and wish advanced techniques or numerous years of quilting experience.
