Klonda Holt discovered the art of quilting in 1990. She said, “When I first began, I had no idea how my life would change or the joy I would find while creating art using textiles.” In her quest to learn more, she took classes from nationally-known teachers whenever she had the opportunity. Now she spends much of her free time making quilts, wall hangings, commissioned pieces and other kinds of fiber art. Many of her quilt have been exhibited in national show and won awards.Klonda belongs to the Lee’s Summit Quilters’ Guild, The Rambling River Art Quilters and the American Quilter’s Society in Paducah, KY.
