Color-Blocked Wall Hangings Stitch Graphic Design Principles into Quilts by Emily Van Hoff

Emily Van Hoff merges her background in graphic design with the practical crafting skills she picked up as a child in her vibrant wall hangings. From her home studio in Chicago, Van Hoff pays homage to women crafters of generations past as she stitches geometric quilts in bold color palettes of bubblegum pink, lavender, and cobalt. Thick stripes, bisected circles, and clean rows of stitches comprise many of the curved pieces, which the artist describes as a translation of “my digital design into a beautiful tactile object.”
Van Hoff’s vivid works sell out quickly, so keep an eye on her site and Instagram for future shop updates.
