How to Do an Improv Mosaic Scrappy Log Cabin, Use Text in Quilts, and Reimagine Shirting with Lorraine Woodruff-Long
(Show 3510) Meet Lorraine Woodruff-Long, a San Francisco fiber artist and quilter known for her vibrant use of color, improvisation, text, and repurposed fabrics. Her perspective on the world shifted after serving in the Peace Corps, leading her to fall in love with an urban city she called home for over twenty years. As a curious and resourceful artist, Lorraine primarily uses solid cottons, upcycled clothing, and thrift store finds in her quilts, occasionally sourcing from her husband's closet. She views quilts as a canvas for expression, often incorporating thought-provoking text to highlight topics she finds important.
