Who is Pat Holly?

Hello, my name is Pat Holly. I see the quilts I make as a culmination of many experiences in my life. A lifelong exposure to sewing, my love of history and my need to create are all part of my quiltmaking. I studied weaving and graphic design at the University of Michigan School of Art. I am still fascinated with how cloth is created. I study old textiles from all over the world and find them an endless source of inspiration and wonder. The skills I learned in art school and the years of experience with the sewing machine allow me to design and produce the quilts that satisfy my desire to pay tribute to the textile creators of the past.
