aprons: frivolous and functional
Aprons are one of my first sewing memories. Every spring, my grandmother (Ethel) would send a box of handmade aprons for our elementary school fair.

The Dungeons & Dragons roleplaying game inspired this series of nine art quilts. It was the use of a spectrum of moral and ethical perspectives for character development that caught my attention. And then how to represent them visually. There are two basic choices: the character’s view on law versus chaos and good versus evil. Both options also have a middle-ground of neutral.

D&D Alignment Quilts, 31″ x 31″ framed, $900 each. Please contact me for more information.

welcome
Textiles, in their many forms, have been a constant thread in my life. I grew up surrounded by my mother’s exquisitely crafted knitting, sewing, and needlework, as well as my grandmother’s rugs and fanciful aprons. What objects will our generation leave behind to become “vintage”? To carry our memories into the future? I strive to […]
