We are a mother-and-daughters collaborative team focused on executing traditional textile artforms with a modern twist. We emphasize sustainability and upcycling for our materials to reduce waste.

Ellen creates wool quilts in traditional American patterns that are both beautiful and warmly functional. She uses 100% reclaimed upcycled wool from garments for the quilt tops. Her goal is to promote sustainability through reuse while preserving and honoring traditional patterns and quilting. The combination of bold colors and geometric patterns create visually striking statement pieces. Recently, Ellen has been experimenting with creating one-of-a-kind handbags with reclaimed garment leather and leftover wool and denim pieces, such as pockets, from the quilting process.

Mary weaves household linens (towels, napkins, placemats, etc.) and accessories using traditional patterns but with modern colors and themes. She uses natural fibers to create textiles that will last for decades under heavy use, many featuring handsewn finishes. She incorporates themes of science and technology into this ancient artform, for example through the use of Morse code and binary in her designs.

Anna creates striking, colorful garments and accessories using ice dyeing techniques. Ice dyeing is intentionally non-replicable, so every piece is one-of-a-kind. Anna's color palettes and the shape and form of her designs are inspired by the varied landscapes of the Northeast US as well as astronomical objects. Anna and Mary have been collaborating to develop ice dyed weaving warps, available both as finished woven pieces and as prewound warps for other weavers to enjoy.

We are committed to preserving, enhancing, and updating quilting, weaving, and dying; artforms refined by generations of our foremothers, for modern audiences. We hope to combat throwaway culture by creating household artwork that will last a lifetime.
