Something new to show. My line of pillows at Pat McGann Gallery. These are made from some of the textiles that I sourced on a trip to Beijing this past December– now at Pat McGann Gallery. Silk Miao textiles along with embroidered carrier pillows. Hmong marriage quilts and hand loomed jacquard pillows. Come visit the shop to see more.

Above are pillow details from a group of custom pillows that I am dropping of today for Pat McGann Gallery. Pat McGann always has beautiful and out of the ordinary textiles. (Oh yes– we do custom pillows so email us for specifics). While I was uploading images this song came on my Pandora by Sun Ra–That’s How I feel. Which is fun to listen to while looking at the pillows–try it. Really.
The glass artist Alison Bergerwalked through today. After she left, I had to go next door and ask who she was. When she came in, I was folding gypsy quilts made out of vintage saris. She asked me what they were.
They are also in the window, I said.
Did you do the window?
Yes I did.
You did a beautiful job.
Oh thank you!
Later, when I found out who she was I got more excited as I am a fan of her work. In particular, this glass stool. I think all of this timely since I’ve been on a glass kick lately.
I must do more styling. You get to make things pretty and then you get to leave.
