Art Made
with Cloth.
Vibrant, original wall quilts shaped by color, value selection and abstract patterning — an improvisational practice in rhythm, repetition and the quiet language of the needle and thread.
What Curators & Jurors Are Saying
Black's Line Study 17 is a master statement of technique, craft and innovative design. The resulting rhythms, patterns, and interplay of forms are captivating.

Line Study 17
Among the works that defined Peggy's national reputation, Line Study 17 exemplifies a mastery of rhythm, repetition and the quiet authority of the line. Awarded Best of Show at Quilt National 2017, the piece now lives in a private collection — a touchstone for the broader Line Study series and the body of work that followed.

“In the tactile comfort of the cloth, the addition of unique markings, the roll of the cutter, the hum of the machine, I fall under the spell of the needle and thread. I allow the fabric to transform itself into a playful, sometimes quiet narrative.”
