Heirloom Textile Quilt

$1,500

As an artist, I create quilts with many patterns and images. These quilts were all made to incorporate family heirloom textiles. Most of them were tablecloths. Then, I used additional fabrics to create a composition, and hand quilted the piece together. I love to work with fabrics that have personal meanings behind them, other examples include, sheets, clothes, and flags. These quilts are 5x5', but I can work with you to find the right size as a wall hanging, throw, or bedding.

    This Maker has consistently demonstrated excellence in craftsmanship and customer service.

I am an artist, trained at The School of the Art Institute of Chicago. I inherited a family tradition of quilt making from my maternal grandmother.

I specialize in using found fabrics, and transform them into a quilt rich with memories. Your family heirloom textiles can be incorporated with my fabric collection to create a one of a kind work of art for your home, office, or creative space. I use a sashiko inspired hand quilting technique that employs thicker thread for a highly visible quilted line.

I look forward to collaborating with you to create a unique work of art!
