Laurel Anderson comes from a long line of gifted textile artisans. They called themselves Housewives. Her mother taught her to sew when she was a young child and she made her own clothes for many years.
When her sons started school she joined a local quilt group that was making quilts for the Richmond Rescue Mission. They made the mistake of complimenting her on her use of color. With that encouragement she thought she could try making quilts for her family. It took three to get her hooked.
Laurel loves hand and machine appliqué, and prefers fl¬owers and natural landscapes that include trees and mountains. She is best known for her complimentary mix of color, pattern and texture.
Laurel has shown her quilts in the San Francisco Bay Area at the Contra Costa and River City Guild Shows and the Pacific International Quilt Show in Santa Clara, receiving Best in Show, First Place, Best Use of Color and Viewer’s Choice awards. She teaches workshops and lectures about appliqué, fabric dyeing and color.
Whisper Color describes the technique Laurel uses to dye silk scarves, thus, her company name was born. Her first book Appliqué Workshop came out in May 2010.
Laurel was born and raised on the west coast. She is a RN and a Lactation Educator.
