Angie Tustison Quilts

Angie Tustison Quilts Fine Art and Landscape Quilts by Angie Tustison I was born and raised in Humboldt County, Northern California. I picked quilting back up again in 2011.

Humboldt is known for its spectacular natural beauty, including the giant redwoods and the beautiful coastline. These local landscapes have been a source of inspiration throughout my life, and have filled me with the desire to become an artist. I started my first quilt project at 15, when my neighbor showed me how to use a sewing machine. I created a few basic patchwork quilts in the following yea

rs, but had to set quilting aside while I earned my B.S. in Environmental Science from Humboldt State University. I began showing my quilts locally, and I joined the Redwood Empire Quilter's Guild. In 2014, I entered my first international quilt show. Since then, my quilts have been displayed all around the United States. I have won some awards at national and international quilt shows, and my work has been included in regional and global traveling exhibitions. With every new quilt I make, I learn something new. I am always striving to become a better quilter, and a better artist. I truly enjoy sharing my artwork with the world, and connecting with people through a shared love of art and craft.

This is so cool! They made my quilt into a puzzle!

n addition to its win at Paducah, Angie's quilt also took home First Place - Naturescape earlier in the year at Road to California 2026. About her work and its inspiration, Angie says, "This quilt is based on a photo I took of my husband and our dogs in the redwoods near our home in Northern California.

Taking photos for an art quilt was a great excuse to get out and go for a walk in a beautiful place. The redwoods have always been home for me, and I enjoyed working with such a familiar and comforting landscape.

I especially enjoyed creating the threadwork details with machine embroidery on water-soluble stabilizer."
