Erica has always enjoyed sewing. As a young girl, she made some of her own clothes. When she had children, she would sew a dress or two for them as well as clothes for their dolls. Quilts didn’t arrive on her radar until she was on vacation with a friend (also a sewist), where they went to a small quilt show just for something to do. They both came away from the show knowing they wanted to do that. They’ve both been quilting ever since that day. Erica loves the impact of color. She also loves hand stitching with contrasting embroidery floss to create different effects. She now switches between cotton and wool quilts because she can’t choose between the two —they seem to fill different creative needs. Erica resides in Bala Cynwyd, PA.
