Paint By Threads

As an designer, I focus on the creation of high quality handcrafted textiles; providing a selection of original designs, and accepting commissions to create custom textiles. My desire to create textiles by hand, in simple, uncomplicated forms, in the Arts and Crafts tradition, allows me to provide high quality products as evident in my selection of fabric (100 % linen), threads, and execution of technique.

As a sole proprietor, I have experience assisting clients in fulfilling their requirements of stylish, functional, one-of-a-kind textiles. My attention to Arts and Crafts traditions including a focus on simple, uncomplicated designs, employment of natural materials, and looking to nature for design inspiration, allows me to create and provide textiles that will be enjoyed for a lifetime. I am passionate about what I make and design, and only make handcrafted textiles that I would place in my own home. I look forward to assisting in your interior decorating needs.
