After teaching quilting and making wearable art since 1972, Lorraine started
Lorraine Torrence Designs, our wearable art pattern business, in 1996 with
four patterns. Each year we have added new patterns, and in some years have
discontinued patterns.
Lorraine holds a BFA in Art and an MFA in Sculpture but started making quilts
in 1971. She has been teaching quilting since 1972 and now teaches on the
national circuit as well as in other countries. Her love of clothing mixes
with quilting skills and results in wearable art that has been exhibited in
3 Fairfield Fashion Shows, 2 Bernina Fashion Shows and 7 AQS Fashion Shows.
She has won numerous awards on the AQS Fashion Show and has judged that show
and other wearable art shows several times. She owns two lines of garment
patterns, has written 2 books, contributed to others and in 2001 designed
her first line of fabric for Clothworks. |
