Velda Newman

Velda Newman is a contemporary American quilter from Nevada City in Northern California,[1] specializing in close-up depictions of the natural world. Common subjects for her quilts are based in nature focused on flowers, fruit, and fish.[2] She does much of her work by hand including stitching and dying of the fabric.[3][4]

Newman has received numerous national and international quilting awards, including her quilt "Hydrangea" being listed as one of "The 20th Century's 100 Best Quilts."[5][6] Newman is also the author of two books, A Workshop with Velda Newman: Adding Dimension to your Quilts[7] and Velda Newman: A Painter's Approach to Quilt Design.[8][9]
