August 2023 Meeting: Audrey Esarey (Cotton & Bourbon)

In August, we are excited to welcome Audrey Esarey of Cotton and Bourbon to the KCMQG! She has always identified as a maker, and has sewn for as long as she can remember, but only began quilting in 2005. In 2018, she set a personal goal to exhibit her work in a juried quilt show, which motivated her to design and create a series of original quilts. Since then, her quilts have been exhibited and recognized at Quilt National, International Quilt Festival, and QuiltCon. She shares her creative process on Instagram via @CottonandBourbon  You’ll be excited to hear her lecture which focuses on her path to becoming a modern quilter and how she’s applied many traditional techniques in her modern quilts. She’ll discuss the progression of her work and show her Radial Quilts, Watercolor Quilts, and a few others too! She will also share information on design inspiration, favorite artists, and discuss some quilting highs and lows along her journey.

There is a $10 fee for guests which will happily apply to a membership should they decide to join us!
