Judi Warren Blaydon ~ Milford, MI

Since 1981 Judi Warren Blaydon has judged quilt shows and presented lectures and quiltmaking workshops in the U.S., Japan, Canada, and Switzerland. A background in Art Education, an MFA degree, and experience teaching Design and Drawing Foundations at the college level enable her to convey color and design vocabulary in a supportive and challenging classroom environment and to encourage her students to explore, discover, and express personal themes in their quilts. Her work has been included in Quilt National and Crafts National exhibitions and is in private and public collections in the U.S., Japan, and Australia. Judi has written articles for American Quilter, Quilts Japan, Patchwork Quilt Tsushin and Quilting Today magazines, and is the author of Fabric Postcards: Landmarks and Landscapes/ Monuments and Meadows (AQS 1995). Her work is included in 88 Leaders in the Quilt World Today (Nihon Vogue 1995), in Robert Shaw's The Art Quilt, and she designed the "Buds and Blossoms" fabric for Benartex, Inc. Her quilt, The Mountain and the Magic: Night Lights has been purchased for the permanent collection of The American Quilter's Society, and 15 of her pieces were exhibited at the New England Quilt Museum in 2001.
