My photo
LuAnn Kessi
I work in my home studio, "The Thread Shed."  It brings me joy and is my Happy Place. When I am out there hours go by without my even knowing it.  Like all quilts, mine are not just quilts, they are stories about imagination, passion, perseverance, dedication and love.  Each quilt contains a lesson for me, and with each one my skills have grown. My quilts are greatly influenced by my life on a ranch in the Harlan Valley. In recent years I have blended my love of photography, gardening and quilting together.  I feel my work is taking on a more contemporary look and this excites me.
