Inspirations from Nature

Art Quilting & Pillows

August 31st - September 28th, 2025

Opening Reception Friday, September 5th, 6-9 pm

during the First Friday Art Walk

Candace McCaffery learned sewing from her mother at early age.  After graduating from college in 1973 with a BS in forestry and wildlife ecology, she began exploring the technique of quilting.  Candace has developed her own contemporary style and technique.  Fiber-reactive dyes, hand-painted, printed, hand-dyed, and marbleized fabrics are all elements of the original designs for her pillows and wall hangings.  Frogs, lizards, turtles, and snakes are often immortalized in her art and reflect her love, respect, and humor for the natural world. Candace enjoys sharing her work with others and has won numerous awards including "Best of Show".
