Excerpt Craft Corps (Chapter 13):

"VH: When did you start quilting?

DS: You know, it's funny, I didn't grow up quilting; I grew up sewing. I'd already had a career in New York as a modern dancer and performer, and went back to school for graphic design. I moved to Connecticut and ended up working at a children's book publisher. It paid really well, but was creatively a little stifling, Prior to that, I had become intrigued by quilts. Before I went to Rhode Island School of Design, I had taken some drawing classes at a museum and was really interested in the idea of collage and discovered crazy quilts. I became interested in the quilt as object. Textiles and sewing had always been part of what I did, so I think it was natural extension of my graphic design work."
