Linda Cooper Quilts​

Artist, teacher, lecturer

Picture
Linda Cooper began her journey as a quilter over 20 years ago. Beginning quilting in the traditional style, Linda,  loves all aspects of the quilt world but has gravitated to art quilting in the past few years.  She teaches fabric painting, raw-edge appliqué, and other classes at Artistic Artifacts Annex in Alexandria, VA, and the Quilt Patch in Fairfax, VA.

​Linda offers lectures and workshops and loves sharing her artist journey.
​
​Her style of Broderie-Perse machine appliqué quilts is influenced by the work of Phil Beaver, Laura Cater-Woods and Judy House. For many years she’s taken Art Quilt classes with Cyndi Souder and is grateful to her and her fellow students for so much inspiration. LInda's work continues to evolve as she further explores fabric painting and other surface design techniques.
