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 Kimberly
