Ann Pigneri is a quilt creator, designer and teacher living in Louisville, KY. Ann started quilting in 1996, but did not have much time to devote to quilting as she and her husband of 32 years had five children in six years. Since Ann and her husband have become empty nesters, Ann has been able to expand on her design process. She loves designing her own quilts and problem solving to determine exactly how to execute her designs. She also loves the creative challenge of working with the broad array of fabric, thread and embellishments available today. She uses the computer and computer aides in designing her quilts and loves teaching EQ7 as well as Quilt Design Classes. Ann has developed several step by step processes to design not only her own quilts but also machine quilting designs for her quilts.

” I love the total freedom and creative challenge of designing and creating my own quilts with the broad array of fabric, threads and embellishments available. Problem solving is fun and stimulating, so the more complex the better! I absolutely love color and always have! The interaction of the fabric color, texture, and pattern is what stimulates me to create something unique. “
