Finding joy in patches, journals and scraps.
Patch art and journals designed with upcycled fabric scraps.
Our vibrant patches and journals are one-of-a-kind. Each piece projects a mix of elements and cultural conversations. Our intention is to minimize textile waste and reuse as much as we can.
Our home is our studio.
We make free-style patchwork inspired by our grandmothers’ imagination and resourcefulness. Small pieces packed together with intuition and a desire to create beauty and positive energy in the world.

What motivates you to create?
We love the exploration of materials and engaging in conversation around textiles, patterns, and designs. We want our art to be functional and beautiful.
journals
“I’ve been making books for many years but started making the fabric-covered journals with a friend just a couple of years ago. The process of making the journals brought me deep joy. I hope that others find happiness and creativity in using the journals. It thrills me when the journals travel out into the world.” -Carmen
