The Miller Quilt

 

We were approached with an art inspired textile project -- up-cycle old shirts into a quilt inspired by Gee's Bend Quilts. In addition to the quilt, we created a complementary throw pillow.

Upcycled Family Heirloom

We don't often make quilts, but the special treasure that they are draws us to these rare projects.

This particular quilt was an early commission, using elements that were inherited by the ladies in the family. Ultimately this beautiful quilt became a new family heirloom for the youngest bride. What was left of the treasured pieces we turned into a zipper clutch for the original owner so she could hold on to a piece as well.
