This year, I am excited to introduce a new collection of Textiles for the Home, created in collaboration with my friend Denise Clausen. The collection is inspired by my handwoven scraps from garment-making and features unique table runners, mats, and stuffed hearts.
Denise is an exceptional quilter. Her expertise in piecing fabrics and our shared love for color and textiles guided this new direction. Expect to see color names like Huckleberry, Sandlake, and Vine Maple, inspired by the natural beauty of the Oregon Coast.
Each runner and mat is carefully pieced and quilted over cotton batting, with a beautiful fabric backing. We chose to highlight the raw edges of the fabric and utilized directional quilting to create these one-of-a-kind pieces.
Creating the fabric hearts was pure joy! They are truly irresistible and huggable! Priced at $15, each heart is unique. Pin one to your jacket, carry one in your pocket, or decorate your home with these handwoven hearts. Let me know how you use them!
Care Instructions: Machine wash on a delicate cycle and tumble dry. Over time, the raw edges may require trimming.
You can be the first to see these items at:
May 30 - June 1 at the Lincoln City Cultural Center, Lincoln City , OR

Once they are available on my website, you will be able to purchase them there as well.
