Artist Commentary

Label

"I come from a family deeply involved in the fine art and custom fabric work. My earliest memories are of playing with the bolts of fabric in my parents' house. My quilting odyssey began over twenty-five years ago and I've loved quilting every since. Picking fabrics, manipulating color combinations and hand quilting have intrigued and delighted me from my earliest quilting days. This love eventually led me into teaching miniature quilting with my husband George Siciliano and we now teach these classes across the country."
