Passage Quilting

In the summer of 2001... 

I began helping people navigate loss through the embodied process of making quilts from the clothing and materials of every day life.

Starting with the architecture of the clothing, these quilts are pieced without a predetermined pattern. This improvisational process is a score that models the transition, reorientation, and acceptance of the bereavement process, as our relationship to the beloved is transformed. The resulting quilts retain a sense of the body, and in the case of bereavement, carry the consoling essence of the beloved.

participation

I am available to facilitate the hands on bereavement and transition process of Passage Quilting through collaboration, consultation, commission, and/or workshops.

You do not have to be experienced at making a quilt to participate in the Passage Quilting process. It's an improvisational, ruler-free process that welcomes beginners and makers at any skill level, who are interested in touching the emotions of loss and transition through the hands-on, embodied practice of making a quilt.
