Audrey Esarey of Cotton & Bourbon

Audrey has won many prestigious awards for her work. Recently, she had a featured exhibit at the National Quilt Museum. Her lecture will be about “Finding Your Voice in Modern Quilting” and will include a trunk show. This will be a virtual program. There will be a door prize drawing at the end of the meeting. Hope you will join us!

From Audrey:
Hi there – I’m Audrey!
You might be asking – Why Cotton & Bourbon? I’m a quilter from Kentucky! I’ve also been known to have a bourbon during the evening sewing hours. 🥃 I’ve always identified as a maker, and I’ve sewn for as long as I can remember, but only began quilting in 2005. In 2018, I set a personal goal to exhibit my work in a juried quilt show, which motivated me to design and create a series of original quilts. Since then, my quilts have been exhibited and recognized at Quilt National, International Quilt Festival, and QuiltCon. I share my creative process on Instagram via @CottonandBourbon – let’s connect and chat about quilting!
