green star lap quilt
This piece took more than 18 months to complete. The 1 inch star and lattice blocks were finished quickly, but they stayed pinned up on my studio wall for so long because I was waiting to find the perfect green fabric to serve as the border background. Once I finally sourced the right shade, I completed the twisted ribbon border and finalized this piece.

hand tied lap quilt
Hand tied quilts have a long history that can be traced back to the early days of quilting in America. Once the quilt top was completed, layers of batting and backing were added, and then the layers were secured together with ties made of yarn, thread, or twine. Hand tied quilts provided warmth and comfort to families during the harsh winters and were often passed down through generations as treasured family heirlooms.

20 year quilt
The blocks in this quilt were pieced in the year 2001 by my grandmother and her quilting circle. The blocks were set aside and never made into a finished piece until they were passed down to me. I connected the blocks with plaid sashing and quilted the top onto a flannel backing with no batting. From fabric to finish, this piece took 2 decades and over 15 artisans to complete.

first quilt
This is the first full sized quilt I made. The colored blocks, of the traditional broken dishes pattern, were made by my mother and her friends in the early 2000’s. I pieced them together, added white sashing, and quilted the layers together.
The unity of traditional civil war reproduction fabric with bright white sashing reflect the complimentary movements of traditional and modern quilting that are popular today.
