XL-Twin Quilt for the La branche Family.

summer 2019

made with a military man in

mind using his everyday clothes; jeans,

t-shirts, flannel button-downs & pants,

knit sweaters, a camo’ jackets and a

star from a fallen american flag given

to him in honor of his service.

The center is a large star framing a t-

shirt with the dates of his military

service contained by stripes of the

various fabrics drawing reference to the

american flag. The back, not pictured, is a

warm tan flannel camo; referring to

spending his pastime hunting.

Allowing as much personality as

possible to seep into the quilt, pockets

from the original jacket are left and the

paint stained parts of the pants are

used.

Twin Quilt for the shaw Family.

summer 2019

made to honor a man who used his

hands for working and exploring;

his flannel button up work shirts,

favorite t-shirt from his grandsons

home-run, khaki pants with a button-up

knit sweater and jean over-shirt.

Stars twinkle across the quilt stuck into

the corners of the wide border like a

sought after trinket tucked away in an

antique store, large radiating coins frame

the stars symbolizing his love for

collecting and antiquity.

Pockets and left over cuttings of the

flannels layered under shirt-cuffs

with buttons are sewn into

the quilt top and are still usable.

throw Quilt for Pires family.

Fall 2019

made to keep a four legged best friend

close; his towels and sheets that he

would sleep and snuggle into frame

digitally printed fabric of him grown and

as a young dog.

The fabric was cut into large squares to

reference their original purpose as a dog

bed and to complement the bold terry

cloth letters. A terry cloth tag, is sewn

into the bottom edge of the quilt and

says his name in the hand-writing of his

owner.
