I’m a big fan of modern quilts. I love that artists and artisans are continuing a longstanding tradition yet giving it a modern spin. The ladies of Hopewell Workshop, Eliza Kenan and Claire Oswalt came together to continue the tradition of their respective families of creating artisan wares such as these quilts with a modish edge.
Just as our ancestors created quilts based on their traditions and folklore, so are the Hopewell makers creating new traditions on a contemporary foundation. Each piece a work of art. I would love to curl up under one of these or just hang it on my wall and gaze at it!
To see more of the wares of Hopewell Workshop, please visit their website. Oh and make sure you check out my post on Claire’s work from earlier today if you missed it!
