Vintage Storage

Vintage Storage

Lynne keeps her antique fabrics in a storage piece from an old general store. She covered the glass front of each drawer with a coordinating color of fabric to protect the antique fabrics from light and to indicate what fabric colors are housed within.

Looking to the Past

Looking to the Past

In these samples, you can see how Lynne has pulled out a motif from an antique fabric (bottom of each stack) and featured it in one of her fabric designs. Of the popularity of her fabric, Lynne says, "People are drawn to the warm color palette and vintage prints."

Simplifying with Precuts

Simplifying with Precuts

In Lynne's workroom next to the retreat center are precut fabrics housed in an antique general store fixture. Lynne uses a lot of precuts with her layered patchwork technique (a simplifying technique that involves sewing patchwork shapes on top of a background instead of piecing them into the background). "Every time I see a traditional block that has two dozen seams in it, I immediately see how to simplify it to make it easier to piece," she says.

Lynne's Sewing Room

Lynne's Sewing Room

In her sewing room at the cabin in rural Bennington, Lynne sews, designs, and quilts at a custom sewing desk her son Neil built from reclaimed wood. The Seven Sisters quilt, upper right, is stretched around a wooden frame and prevents glare from the window behind while still allowing light to come through.
