Linda Schmidt - Art Quilts
Linda Schmidt
Dublin, CA
Linda Schmidt started making her first quilt at the age of 8 and has made most of her own clothes since she was 12. She comes from a long line of quilting women and still uses some elements of traditional quilting, but most of her work involves art quilts, wearable art, portraits and landscapes. Linda has won over 300 ribbons and prizes at quilt shows, and has taught, spoken, judged quilts and exhibited nationally and internationally since 1990. She has had many of her quilts published in magazines & books, and was chosen as Quilter of the Year by the Professional Quilter Magazine in 2003.
She is also a 4-time Fairfield and Bernina fashion designer, writer, & musician, and retired from her 26-year position at the City of Dublin in 2017. She has three children, three guitars, three flutes, one piano, 5 million beads, one husband, a suddenly useful BA in French, and a 5-bedroom house she cleans herself. She gardens, cooks, does Zumba three times a week, and writes good music and bad poetry in her spare time.
