When Robyn Jones wants to relax, she strolls along the unspoiled mountainside of her Colorado home to visit her horse, Winddancer, the muse for her business name and logo. There, she can also understand the abundance of wildlife within the adjacent National Forest including mountain lions, bear, elk, chipmunks, and antelope, all of these further inspire her designs. Winddancer designs are inspired by Robyn’s extensive travels throughout the United States, Australia, Europe, and Asia. An avid photographer and quilter for upwards of twenty years, Robyn brings together her photography, art, and quilting skills in designs for travel quilts that currently include 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 people.
Every Winddancer state quilt design is planned to produce facets of specific states while mixing architecture, floral, wildlife, and history into a cohesive quilt picture. Since neighboring states share many features, landscapes, and sporting events, blocks could be interchanged to personalize your quilt with your own personal experiences.
Robyn works closely together with her Australian artist husband, Kevin, and each design is utilized by true to life experiences or photographs of her travels. The finished designs are generated right into a computer template that’s broken into layers and pieces for quilting, then many versions are designed to find the best coloring for your final quilt. Importantly, each quilt design must be planned using a common palette of colours. Australian quilts permits blocks being interchanged with other state and country designs, so quilters can cause their very own “Travel Quilt” or “Where I’ve Lived Quilt.”Winddancer Creations quilts were created with simplicity in your mind so that entire families can also enjoy making a special quilt. Their state designs can be used an eye on a family’s travel experience and a few blocks, as an example the Wild Mustangs block from the Utah State Quilt design, can be achieved by children who are only 10-14.With Winddancer designs, color and layering are employed extensively to produce detail. Patterns from other designers are often a lot more complex and need advanced techniques or years of quilting experience.
