Sally Owen-Still was born and raised in New Jersey.After majoring in biology at Valparaiso University, Sally spent her professional years in the Chicago area. Her jobs have included teaching and not-for-profit administration.Sally has always enjoyed working with yams and fabrics. She began making traditional quilts in 2000 and now concentrates on original nature-inspired wall hangings.About quilting she says, “What delights me most about Quilted Fabric Art is working in layers. The piece is created with quilt-shop cottons designed by a fabric artist who has no idea how the quilter will use them. What they become in the work is always a surprise to me. My nature-themed wall hangings begin with a background that is machine-pieced or appliqued. Other elements added are more applique, stuffing for depth, and embellishments with thread, beads, crayons, ink or colored pencils.”Sally and her husband Tom Still, a pianist, moved to Big Timber in the summer of2005. They have three grown children, Randy, Rebecca, and Tim. |
