| This is an experiment in abstract embroidery, which I became interested in through studying the work of Hungarian-American textile artist, Mariska Karasz. This is my first time embroidering anything and I am not quite sure about the result, it might be just a starting place..... |

| This design was inspired by a Gee's Bend quilt. It is made from a combination of cotton and linen scraps of old clothing and previous sewing projects I've collected over the last year. |

When Loraine took over our loft bedroom we were forced to move our bed downstairs, into our living room. Instead of spending thousands on a new sleeper sofa I came up with plan to hide our bed. I designed and made a custom fitted wool slip cover, sewed a couple cushion slip covers out of left over wool/linen material and covered our bed pillows in linen, creating a perfect solution to our "bed in the living room" problem. I also built in some bookshelves, and made some simple linen curtains and hung them by a basic dowel supported on a couple of old iron coat hooks. Almost everything in this space I made with recycled, repurposed, or found materials.
