Sara Flynn
Modern Quilt Maker, Speaker, Teacher, Designer
Sara Flynn is not your conventional quilt artist. With a unique blend of folk art finesse and punk rock influences, her creations defy expectations and ignite the senses. But Sara's artistry isn't just about rebellion—it's about sustainability, resourcefulness, and a deep-seated love for her craft. As a longtime moto rider, a scooter cannonballer, and a disabled veteran. Sara's adventurous spirit finds expression in her quilts. Each stitch tells a story, weaving together the ruggedness of the road with the softness of fabric, the grit of punk with the warmth of folk art.But Sara's creativity doesn't stop at the sewing machine. With a commitment to sustainability, she sources her fabrics exclusively from thrifted, gifted, or found materials. Every piece carries with it a history, a narrative of its own, adding layers of meaning to her work.Despite the challenges of being a single mother to three children, two with special needs, Sara carves out precious moments to create. For her, quilting is not just a hobby—it's a lifeline, a sanctuary where she can lose herself in color and pattern, if only for a fleeting moment. In Sara Flynn's world, quilting isn't just about making blankets—it's about stitching together a tapestry of life, love, and resilience while she leaves her voice in the pieces created as a note to the future.
