Louise Silk's Biography

I live and work in a loft on Pittsburgh’s SouthSide. I am the author of a book on quiltmaking as spiritual practice called THE QUILTING PATH. I have a business making memory quilts. A Memory Quilt is any textile art created to remember something of significance. It can honor or memorialize a person, an event, and/or an achievement. Check out my website for further information.
