Didi Salvatierra is an award-winning and professional fiber artist and quiltmaker. She received a Bachelors of Fine Art degree in jewelry design from the University of Colorado at Boulder. After working in metals and being a member of a cooperative artists' gallery for eight years, she found fiber arts to be a new direction for her creative energies. She has been stitching professionally since 1990. Some of her more noteworthy clients include The Mountain Mist Company, authors Mimi Dietrich and Barbara Brackman, quilt artist Carole A. Liebzeit, and AQS quilt appraisers Karen L. Dever and Mary W. Kerr.

Didi's quilts reflect a love of color, spontaneity and often humor. Her attention to detail and embellishments infuse each unique piece of her work with vibrant visual impact. Recent works include one-of-a-kind commissions, art quilts, pillows, coiled bowls and memory quilts. She uses various techniques such as photo-transfer, rubber stamping, foiling, painting and computer generated images to bring her pieces to life. After many years of hand quilting for others, teaching workshops and presenting lectures, she has returned to her studio to create exciting projects and quilts. Relocating to western North Carolina is offering Didi many new challenges, opportunities and adventures. You may even find her teaching an occasional class at Beginnings Quilt Shop in Hendersonville. Life is good!!
