All Products forTheresa's White MorningStar Coral

Inspired by reflecting upon first elders who brought youth in to pass traditions on. Kempenich's late aunt would take the artist to sewing circles in Turtle Mountain, which was the artist's first experiences of working with textiles. During the sewing circles, the artist would watch her Great Aunt Theresa make elaborate and beautiful star quilts. Due to limited access of fabrics, the artist would often use markers and fabric crayons to make designs. Eventually Hillary would try her hand at needle point, beadwork and quillwork.
