About Colleen Peake

Colleen Peake I am a mountain and nature lover…and that is what shows up in my art quilts.

The first course that I took in landscape quilts was when I discovered my niche in the quilting world. I found a way to express my love of nature in cloth with colors, textures, and fabrics, and with no holds on methods!

I am having a great time in this journey of becoming a quilt artist. No two quilts are the same, there is always a new technique being discovered or used in each new piece. The end is always a surprise. Sometimes it takes quite a while to figure out how to get the effect that I want and sometimes the answer comes in the strangest places.

This is exciting! After a lifetime of being a student and a teacher, it is breathtaking to realize that this newfound life of mine is real. No bells or prescribed holidays any more, just more exciting ideas to develop and create and more creative courses and books to devour. Lately, my greatest joys have come from teaching; the circle never ends.
