Meet Kimberly Lacy<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Traditional quilting caught Kim Lacy\u2019s interest in 1976 while she was on maternity leave after the birth of her daughter. Kim\u2019s early work was all traditional quilting such as pillows, baby quilts, and quilted bags.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2000, Kimberly Lacy \u201cmoved into art quilts\u201d after her mother shared the magic of Quilt National <\/a><\/em>with Kim.\u00a0 That was all it took to hook Kim on the art quilt movement.\u00a0 During this time, Kimberly Lacy learned to free motion quilt. She says she was, \u201ccaptivated by the possibilities\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Three years later, in 2003, Kim began focusing on her quilting with greater intensity.  She joined a local artisan\u2019s group and started showing and selling her work. She began attending local quilting guilds which \u201chugely expanded my vision for my own work.\u201d Then, in 2011, Kimberly entered her first juried competition at the Denver National Quilt Festival. More national and international quilt shows followed, with Kim winning many awards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Making Feathers<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Kim likes to depict things in nature with her quilting. She says she is \u201cinspired by the shapes and forms of nature.\u201d Her access to the professional and amateur photography of her friends is a constant source of inspiration. Kimberly notes, \u201cTheir images of wildlife, natural wonders, and fractals have been the focus of many of my quilts.  Geology and paleontology have also influenced much of my recent work.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Regarding Feathers,<\/em> Kimberly Lacy says that it was \u201ca serendipitous assembly and I was playing with interesting ways to configure striped fabric.\u201d It took Kim about a month to complete. She used the techniques of machine piecing and fabric painting in her design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Entering Road@Home<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Kimberly Lacy entered the first Road@Home quilt contest because she had entered the popular Road to California quilt contest in the past.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kim thought \u201cthe quilts were fabulous\u201d at Road@Home.  She feels that Road \u201calways attract(s) high caliber quilters\u201d which is what she enjoys about the show. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When Kim found out she had won third place, in the category, \u201cWhat You Think You See,\u201d she said she was thrilled and felt \u201cvery honored.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After Road@Home, Kim hopes to show Feathers<\/em> more in 2021.  Also, Kim says she \u201cwill be playing with solid colors for a while.\u201d She just got a \u201cton of Cherrywood cotton\u201d and she is \u201cvery excited\u201d to start \u201cto play with it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
