Judy Kennedy is one of the outstanding quilters here in The Landings. In fact, she has a direct connection to the famous painting by Gustav Klimt, The Woman in Gold.
“THE WOMAN IN GOLD”
Judy created this quilt of the famous painting in an odd sort of way. Judy obtained the panel of the Woman in Gold & had plans for it. While on vacation, she was able to find the fabrics to coordinate with the panel, and as she had a vision, she was not waiting for the comfort of a sewing room and cutting table. Her pieces were cut on the picnic table while traveling through North Carolina in their RV!
PIANO QUILT CREATION
Once the quilt top was put together, Judy worked with a professional quilter to highlight her beautiful creation. But the story goes on. While in New York, Judy was able to see the original painting at the Robert Lauder NEUE Galerie. Judy has displayed the quilt in her home entry way. It is truly a work of art. Judy’s other works of art include a guitar and a piano. Both quilts are also of museum quality.
GUITAR QUILT CREATION
Judy is a prolific quilter and has a wonderful eye for color and design. She shares her talent with the PIECEMAKERS quilting group that meets every first Tuesday and third Friday of each month. She & her husband, Eddie, have been residents of The Landings for over 10 years. They were professional hair stylists with their own shop and traveled back & forth (which clients demanded!) for 10 years. Finally, they have made the smart move to full time residency in Ariel, and now travel back and forth to be with family.
If you have questions about PIECEMAKERS or would like additional information about the group, please contact Phyllis Holley at 239-410-8794 or Cathy Steeves, 207-650-1631.
