Hello everybody! My name is Emily and I am a 25 year old with a serious fabric addiction. I graduated from a small liberal arts college in the Chicagoland area, where I majored in Art Education (K-12) with a concentration in printmaking. Now I'm looking for a job as an art teacher and working as a substitute teacher :)

 

I learned to sew a bit from my aunt and grandmother but mostly I have used the trial and error method and taught myself with help from the online community (believe me there were errors!). I have recently gotten back into quilting and look to the online quilting community as my main guidance in everything from improvisational piecing to how to baste a quilt. I am interested in modern quilting and have been exploring many kinds of piecing and creating quilts.

 

My work in printmaking spans most mediums including etching, wood and linoleum blocks, xerox transfer monoprinting and even silk screening. I spend a lot of time with my family, I have many cousins and they have a lot of babies that need babysitting (and quilts!)!

 

I hope you enjoy looking around my photostream, feel free to leave a comment or contact me with any questions.

Testimonials

Emily is one of my best friends. She is very creative, and I love her most recent printed fabric. She makes such well-crafted things. I still have not gotten to wear the dress she made, but I love it! She has a great sense of style and color, and her taste in patterns is sensational! :)

Mle BB is awesome. I attended college with her and we worked together often. She makes so many awesome things! She has made me a lunch bag, a DRESS (which is so cute), and has also given me some awesome fabric for my birthday. Her sewing skills are pretty sweet. I made etchings of some summertime treats and printed them on fabric and she embroidered on them. She is so creative. And fun! :)
