  1. QUILT STORIES Patricia Ciricillo Quilts photographed by Greg Schaler

  2. “My quilts include traditional patchwork patterns and original designs. I have experimented with geometric designs as well as landscape or architectural scenes. My primary inspiration has been the fabric itself: First, traditional quilting materials and designer cottons; later supplemented by ethnic fabrics from around the world; still other fabrics, I paint and dye myself. Always my fabrics are enhanced by gifts from and exchanges with other fiber artists. My work tends to have an abundance of symbolic content. The quilts are a kind of journal for me, incorporating reminiscences and ongoing commentary.” Patricia YolandeCiricillo
