They were regular women with husbands and children who fought for women’s right to vote. Some became well known, while others remained in the background. Either way, there are countless women who fought for the rights we have the privilege of using today.

Featured Quilt Artists:
Maria Billings is a bi-cultural artist (Europe, USA). In 1980, she earned a B.A. degree in textile and fiber art at the University of Cologne, Germany. Billings specializes in hand-made textile images. Starting with either her own photography or a hand-painted background, she stitches the image to create more tactile values, often with three-dimensional effects. Her inspiration stems from her respect for nature and people, as her artistic explorations lead to representational as well as abstract art. Billings has award-winning works in private and public collections around the world.
The Pixeladies are Deb Cashatt and Kris Sazaki. Collaborating since 2003, they use the computer to draft compositions, which they collage with texts and phrases cut from magazines and newspapers. For the Pixeladies, the texts have literal meaning as well as aesthetic value. The Pixeladies often take everyday objects and imbue them with political or social meaning, working primarily in fiber because of its tactile nature. And, they like to sew.
Patricia Kennedy-Zafred has been telling stories through the medium of textiles and art quilts for well over twenty years. Her prize-winning work has been exhibited nationally and internationally, and has been published in books and magazines throughout her career, most recently Art Quilts Unfolding (Schiffer Publishing, 2018). Her art is part of the permanent collection of the State Museum of Pennsylvania in Harrisburg, The Textile Museum in Washington, D.C., and the San Jose Museum of Quilts & Textiles, as well as multiple private collections.
