Art & Quilts made from your treasured fabrics

It is my great honor to have been chosen by so many customers to create special works of art using treasured fabrics to make heirlooms.

Having made textile and fiber art for over 20 years - it has been in the last decade that people have entrusted me with their memories and heirlooms to make works of art that highlight their own memories.

I’ve created quilts from baby clothing, helped bridesmaids and family members to collect fabrics for group gifts honoring weddings, and I have used fabric to commemorate special places and events in people’s lives.

One of my most honored positions as an artist is when I am invited to take the clothing of a loved one who has passed on and turned these special clothing items into bereavement or memorial artwork for families to treasure or quilts to curl up under.

Each piece tells it’s own story. Below are some of my favorite story-telling quilts and art pieces.

RIVER CANYON

This 57”x57” commission was created to honor the joy of a new vacation home that the customer loved. She sent me photos of her views and the things she was seeing outside her windows and I created this piece to sit in the home.

New fabrics were used along with some samples of favorite fabrics from her career as an interior designer.

MEMORIAL ART COLLECTION

Using the bespoke wardrobe of a beloved husband and father that was gone too soon, the family commissioned me to make 20 pieces of artwork from his clothing.

Fabrics used were silk ties, wool jackets, dress shirts, pants and pajamas.

Memory Quilt Gallery

These are quilts that are made from clothing or treasured fabrics that are large enough to cuddle under or go on a bed.
