Kimberly Darwin grew up among Amish and Mennonite influence in Bucks County, PA. Watching the young girls quilt was a popular pastime for Kimberly, but she didn't make her first quilt until 1989, when she became fed up with the mediocre "boxy" garments she'd learned to make at a young age. | |||
Kimberly's extensive
travels took her to 21 countries all over the world (i.e. fabric shopping
trips),
acquiring textiles from each country she visited. But on a trip
to Bali in 1991, Kimberly learned from the masters how to hand-dye
and paint fabrics, and she was hooked forever. |

Unfortunately,
Kimberly lost her studio, home and business to Hurricane Katrina. She
has recently relocated to Phoenix, where she hopes to continue with
her passion. If you wish to learn about how this affected her,
please read her blog. But be prepared not for a sad story, but for one
of growth and appreciation, as well as a renewed spirituality and love
for everyone, and everything, in the world. |

Most
of the items here made it through the hurricane as Kimberly just couldn't
leave them behind, but the majority
of her other artwork
was destroyed. Please check back and see what's new. Contact
