About the Quilts
My little quilts are small-scale, or doll-size quilts. The quilts range in size from about 6 inches square up to 24 inches square. The top, backing, and binding fabrics are all antique or vintage. The quilts are machine pieced and machine quilted, using tiny machine stitches reminiscent of old time treadle sewing machines. The quilts contain very thin cotton batting, characteristic of fine antique Pennsylvania quilts.
About the Artist
I find inspiration for my little quilts from the past--sometimes from a glorious antique quilt but just as often from a worn-out quilt fragment. Originally from Illinois, I moved to southeastern Pennsylvania and became addicted to collecting antique quilts and textiles. My current interests are antique doll quilts, doll aprons, quilt blocks and fabrics. I make my quilts using antique and vintage fabrics from my collection. I reside in Ambler, Pennsylvania with my husband and wonderful twin boys. When I am not in my “quilt laboratory” at home designing new quilts, I am in my chemistry lab at work designing new molecules.
