Quilts are sturdy love.

I mostly quilt for people in my immediate community.

My primary work is as a university lecturer, writer, & researcher. However, quilting is an alternative form of record keeping and cultural legacy work. Quilts embody community care and kinship across generations. Often made for love, loss, protest, and reckoning, quilters hold a special place in the history of art.

PLQ is a space where I both make quilts and write about their histories. I take on projects from fundraisers to zine writing to lectures to essays to teaching for social initiatives.

I believe knowing where things come from has the power to shift systemic structures of harm. Quilt history is resplendent with defiance, practical change, vivid expression, and hope.
