From the Artist
My name is Louise Silk and I am an artist and quilter living and working from my loft in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. For over thirty years, I have been creating art that combines aesthetics and functionality with meaning and memory for family, friends, individuals and organizations. My primary work is quilt-centered utilizing spiritual themes, photo transfers, recycled fabrics from old clothing, and embroidery. I share life lessons coupled with my quilting expertise through my writing and teaching, most currently with my new book, The Quilting Path. Please let me know how my work can impact your life.
~ Louise
The Quilting Path: A Guide to Spiritual Discovery through Fabric, Thread, and Kabbalah by Louise Silk is now available for purchase at SkyLight Paths.

Louise augments the information from her book The Quilting Path to guide students through original quilting projects that transform pieces of cloth into family heirlooms, each with its own history, memory and significance.
