FEATURED QUILTMAKER

Introducing Lois Embree Arnold

Lois is a third generation quilt artist and designer who makes both traditional and art quilts.  She enjoys using a variety of techniques and sets up challenges for herself on each project.  Her passion for the pursuit of perfection in patchwork has earned her the title of “Princess of Precision” among her quilt making friends.

Encouraging students and sharing her knowledge of quilting, Lois conducts workshops with enthusiasm nationally and internationally.  In the early 80’s Lois was the founding president of a guild that grew from five to one hundred members in two years.  She has served on the board of her local chapter of the Arizona Quilter’s Guild as well as on the board of the National Quilting Association.

Her quilts, wall quilts and quilted clothing have been exhibited in galleries, art museums and quilt shows from coast to coast.  Lois has won awards in both regional and national shows.  Her quilts have appeared in The American Quilter Magazine, Borders and Finishing Touches 2 by Bonnie K. Browning, and The visual Dance by Joen Wolfrom.

Lois is the author of Pine Tree Quilts (AQS) and has appeared on Simply Quilts.  She is currently working on another book.

After spending the past four years in the Southeastern United States (y’all), Lois and her husband, Gary recently moved back to Arizona to be near family and friends.  In addition to quilting, Lois enjoys reading mysteries, entertaining, and trying to keep flowers alive in the Arizona desert.
