If you think that quilts are a thing of the past, you’ve probably never stumbled upon textile artists who are bringing them into the modern world. Emily Van Hoff is one of them and her colorful wall hangings will bring a breath of fresh air into your home and make it more vibrant and lively.
Van Hoff is a textile artist working from her home studio in Chicago, but she didn’t start her creative journey by making quilts. She’s actually a graphic designer and hand letterer, and her background in these fields helped her craft some of the most colorful wall hangings that you’ll ever come across.
“Quilting and embroidery are my current tools of choice to execute my dreams of physical, tactile graphic design. This combination results in fresh and unexpected forms that will shine in your home and get you all the compliments as you wear them out into the world,” she explains on her official website.
Van Hoff’s wall hangings helped her attract over 60,000 followers to her Instagram page, but they’re not the only reason behind her social media fame. She also enjoys using her quilts to give many pieces of clothing vibrant looks, ranging from jackets to dresses.
