Spotlight on Virginia Quilters - Ann Robertson

Ann Robertson has been quilting for over 50 years. In that time, she has moved from making traditional quilts to intricate art quilts, mastering countless techniques along the way. Her art reflects her life, having lived in many places around the world. Specifically, Ann’s quilts are heavily influenced by Japanese art. She is constantly experimenting and trying new techniques in her art and her quilts present a fresh approach to thinking about the art of quilt making.

The Virginia Quilt Museum is honored to introduce our newest series of exhibits as we share the work of outstanding quilters from across our great commonwealth, "Spotlight on Virginia Quilters". Throughout 2025, we will feature six different quilters who have worked quietly behind the scenes perfecting their craft, sharing their expertise, and supporting their local communities. These artists may never have won national awards or taught on the big stages, but they are the backbone of our quilting communities. These small exhibitions will feature 4-8 works from the artist and be on display for 7-8 weeks.
