Sew Much More : Episode SMM-152 -- More Projects »
The Sew Much More cameras vistit Artist Nancy Gipple. Gipple uses quilt making with its tradition of caring and frugality to re-use, recycle, re-examine and reconnect. In her functional commemorative quilts, she celebrates births, birthdays, graduations, etc., by reusing fabrics once owned or connected to the recipients.

Some of her more contemporary pieces, designed as wall art, feature such unusual items as potholders, parts of tennis shoes, a belt, raffia or seeds. The materials contained in all of Nancy's quilts are from different parts of the world: Africa, Asia, Europe and the Americas. Using a sewing machine, she collages, cuts up and reassembles over and over before she rests with a final assembly. Aggressive topstitching lends dimension.
