Kris Dohm RED THREAD


Red Thread                                                                                   
Vintage Linen, embellished.  10” x 11”

The “Red Thread” quote is from a Chinese saying.  It perfectly reflects how I felt when meeting my first grandchild, adopted from Taiwan.  I imagined her looking out the window at the same moon as I, not yet knowing that we’d meet, when we’d meet.

Fabric and fibers are my choice of artistic medium.  I have sewn, quilted, stitched, printed, dyed and collected all kinds of textiles and trims for most of my life.  I recently have connected with a circle of like minded stitchers and reconnected with my love of hand stitching.  One of my favorite forms of art is using vintage linens and trims in my work to both honor the original makers and add my own mark.

I sell some of my work at CharlotteOnSunday.etsy.com
