      About Kestrel Michaud

      Kestrel Michaud is a classically-trained, imaginative realism fine artist with a passion for illustrating in fabric. She has won more than 50 local, regional, national, and international awards for her artwork.  All of Kestrel's quilts are in the style of imaginative realism.  

      Kestrel’s technical style is called fused, raw-edge appliqué.  Each quilt is comprised of hundreds or thousands of individual pieces of fabric.  Kestrel cuts and assembles them like a puzzle made from overlapping pieces. Each piece of fabric is fused in place with a heat-sensitive fabric glue before being quilted at a density of 1/8”-1/16”. Kestrel stitches her designs by free-motion quilting, which means she moves the fabric under the needle of her sewing machine to “draw” lines out of thread.

      Today, Kestrel works as a full-time, professional quilt artist, exhibiting and selling her work around the world.
