I celebrate things from the past made of fabric and thread by women whose creations were preserved in closets and cupboards. They were found at estate sales, garage sales, antique malls and resale shops. Many times these objects and fabrics were not used before they were stored away for a new generation to discover.
I also like to work with silk fabrics from the past, men’s neckties and women’s clothing. Their vibrant colors and beautiful textures add a rich dimension to a quilt. Color, pattern, and repurposing are all things that excite me when I design and make my quilts.
