Hand Quilted Throw

$1,500

I am an artist, focused on making quilts. It would be my pleasure to make a quilt for you. The cost of an average 5x5' quilt is $2,500, but that can change depending on size and complexity. I work with vintage and new fabrics. I dye fabric myself with synthetic or natural dyes. I use a sashiko inspired hand quilting technique that employs thicker thread for a highly visible quilted line. I often use 'improvisational piecing,' and am very inspired by traditional African American quilts. The quilt featured here is titled, "Flower Fence."

I specialize in using found fabrics, and transform them into a quilt rich with memories.
