| David Taylor Quilts |
| David Taylor was born in Peterborough, New Hampshire and has lived in many parts of the United States. He currently makes his home in Steamboat Springs, Colorado, where he began his journey into the quilting world in 1999. Since then he has been the recipient of the Fairfield Master Award for Contemporary Quilt Artistry from the International Quilt Association and in 2007 took home Best of Show honors at the Spring International Quilt Festival in Chicago. He has quickly earned a reputation in the quilting world for his artistic depictions of the natural world. His quilts, crafted by hand and meticulously quilted on his Bernina 160 home machine, achieve a realistic effect though his fabric choices. Thread is the only embellishment added to his work. Below, David writes about his work. |
| "I truly enjoying speaking to guilds and enjoy making them a fun time for everyone. My subject is usually a retelling of my unexpected journey into the world of quilting, from a male perspective. I always include a trunk show of my recent work, preferring not to use slides. Please visit my website here for bookings." |
| "I am available for presenting classes to guilds and festivals. I teach a machine quilting class (students or the guild must provide their own machines) and both beginner and advanced pictoral applique classes. Small groups of quilters not affiliated with guilds are also welcome to inquire. Please visit my website here for bookings." |

| It's fun when you find quality art in an unexpected place or in a unique form. In this case, it's fabric. Quilts are primarily known for keeping us warm. They are practical. Yet, over the years quilts have become a means to create artistic patterns. You can read about the history of the quilt here. David Taylor's quilts should be hung on a wall, or draped where you can appreciate the work. Of course, if you get cold, you can always wrap yourself up in one, but only as a last resort. These are works of art. I know you will appreciate the talent and time it took to create these quilts. |
