My Background

What I'm using for the Pandemic Flotsam Project

What I'm using for the Pandemic Flotsam Project

I've always worked as a seamstress.  I started making quilts for school fundraisers when my kids were little.  I've been working with salvaged materials for decades  - in my quilts and in  other business and creative ventures large and small.

What I'm using for the Pandemic Flotsam Project

Since the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic I've been picking up discarded surgical and cloth masks, surgical gloves, and disinfectant wipes off the streets of Oakland, Emeryville, and Berkeley, CA.  I launder them and make "quilts" out of them.

What set me off

I'm a big fan of scavenging, I enjoy finding possibility in what gets tossed out or dropped.  I felt there was a story in the Covid waste I was seeing in the streets.  Sewing people often wonder what they can do with bits of textile - I wanted to make quilts out of the pandemic flotsam.
