When Robyn Jones desires to relax, she strolls along the unspoiled mountainside of her Colorado home to visit her horse, Winddancer, the muse on her company name and logo. There, she will also appreciate the abundance of wildlife within the adjacent National Forest including mountain lions, bear, elk, chipmunks, and antelope, all of these further inspire her designs. Winddancer designs are inspired by Robyn’s extensive travels through the Usa, Australia, Europe, and Asia. A passionate photographer and quilter for upwards of two decades, Robyn includes her photography, art, and quilting skills in designs for travel quilts that currently are the United States State Quilt Series, the Australia State Quilt Series, the Down Under Wildlife Series, and the Military Series honoring our U.S. service women and men.

Every Winddancer state quilt design is planned to produce aspects of specific states while mixing architecture, floral, wildlife, and history right into a cohesive quilt picture. Since neighboring states share many features, landscapes, and sporting activities, blocks may be interchanged to personalize your quilt with your own experiences.

Robyn works closely with her Australian artist husband, Kevin, each design is sucked from real life experiences or photographs of her travels. The finished designs are generated right into a computer template that is broken into layers and pieces for quilting, then many versions are designed to get the best coloring for the final quilt. Importantly, each quilt design needs to be planned using a common palette of colors. This permits blocks to be interchanged along with other state and country designs, so quilters can create their very own “Travel Quilt” or “Where I’ve Lived Quilt.”Winddancer Creations quilts are made with simplicity in your mind so that entire families can take advantage of developing a special quilt. The State designs can be used as a record of a family’s travel experience and some blocks, as an example the Wild Mustangs block from the Utah State Quilt design, can be produced by children as early as 10-14.With Winddancer designs, color and layering are used extensively to produce detail. Patterns from other designers tend to be a lot more complex and wish advanced techniques or years of quilting experience.
