Amy’s love for textiles and making began early in her Waldorf School education with lessons in knitting, weaving, and sewing. Her later education and profession in architecture strongly influence her design work and creative process. She designed her first quilt in 2008, finished it four years later, and has been making quilts ever since. While she values craft and tradition in design, she is energized by modern interpretations and creative remixes. Her recent work is rooted in an investigation of geometry and color.
Amy has contributed original sewing and quilt patterns to issues of Modern Patchwork, Stitch magazine, and Quiltfolk Patterns; authored a book of modern appliqué projects; and had her quilts published in Modern Quilts: Designs of the New Century and Curated Quilts magazine. She is honored to have a quilt in the Modern Quilt Guild Collection of the International Quilt Museum.
An architect by training, Amy will speak to us about when and why she breaks some of the quilting rules. She will be delivering a trunk show and presentation titled How to Break the Rules.
