It’s hard to believe that the BUILT + QUILT opening reception was already a week ago! This space was packed out and it was such a magical evening.

If you weren’t able to make it, you can still catch Natasja Bischoff’s and my work at Assembly Gallery! The gallery will be open to the public every Friday and Saturday in August. Hope you can check it out!

BUILT + QUILT opens Friday, Aug. 7 (tomorrow!) at Assembly Gallery. Have a drink, see these bodies of work up close, say hello to Natasja Bischoff and me!

I’ve been working on this series of quilts for four years, and I cannot express how good it feels to see them all together. This show is a dream come true for me.

Hope to see you tomorrow evening!

I’m beyond excited to share that Natasja Bischoff and I have a show at Assembly Gallery this month!

BUILT + QUILT opens this Friday, August 7 between 7 and 10 PM at 486 Barton St. East. All are welcome to attend!

When we were installing the show, I was blown away by how our work reflects and compliments one other.

Natasja is inspired by the generations of artists and builders in her Dutch-Indonesian family. I’m also the kid of Dutch immigrants and I’m reflecting on life transitions in these quilts.

Here are some sneak peeks of the show. We would absolutely love if you can come see it in person!

When my mom passed away in November, I knew I had to take a road trip this summer to her favourite spot in PEI. So we packed up the van last week and ventured east with our anxious rescue dog, Stevie. (Of course I had to bring my lobster bib for a photo op!)

We’ve had the best time, visiting family and friends along the way. Stevie discovered she loves the ocean (she even got her paws wet) and horses (who knew?!?)

Best of all was seeing signs of my mom everywhere. Thinking of her reminded me to stop and delight in the smallest of things.

I miss her immensely, but my heart is full. Until next time, PEI ❤️🦞

More quilts all ready for next month! This is definitely going to be a quilt-heavy show for me. Haha!

These are whole-cloth quilt tops that I design, have printed and then quilt. They are abstract, but each one is inspired by a song and these two are “Total Eclipse of the Heart” and “You Spin Me Round.”

I’ll see you soon, Picton!

I’m bringing a bunch of my song-inspired wholecloth quilts to as well! These two are “ABC” and “The Circle Game.”

I haven’t made these in a while, so it was fun to work on them again. They make for great baby quilts or wall hangings!

Wholecloth quilts designed and quilted by me

I don’t usually have many off-cuts from my quilts, but I had quite a few scrappy pieces leftover from the lobster bib I recently made (so many design changes!). So I decided to piece them together, improv style, and this is the result!

Everything in this quilt, including the batting, binding and thread, is made of scrap. My designs tend to be pretty exacting and they require a lot of math, so this was a freeing experience, creatively. And it felt really good to use up what I had.

I’ll be bringing this scrappy guy with me to next month!

Quilt details:

100% cotton and linen
Machine pieced and quilted
Hand-sewn binding
39” x 46”

Another class in the books! And just look at these gorgeous quilts (and beaming smiles). Most of these students had not used a sewing machine in years and now they’re quilters. I can’t wait to see what they sew next!
