Speaker Bio:
Gyleen X. Fitzgerald was born in Philadelphia, PA but grew
up in Taiwan and Japan. Those formative years in the Far
East developed her love for simplistic artistry. She began
needlework at a very young age of 4 then in 1981, pursued
artistic expression in drawing and quilt making.
Her quilts blend color, pattern and texture to provide a
contemporary essence to traditional quilting. She shares her
enthusiasm for quilting through interactive lectures and
high energy workshops. Her written works center around Haiku
poetry, quilt patterns and magazine articles; and of course
the crème de la crème, children’s books.
She holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Chemical
Engineering from Drexel University and opened Colourful
Stitches in 1999. Its first subsidiary, FPI Publishing was
launched in 2005 with the publication of her first two
books, The Dream and Poetry & Patchwork.
For Gyleen, quilting is the passion which colors her world.
