About the Residents:
Tonye B. Phillips (She/Her) – Camp Sherman, OR
Native Oregonian currently living full time in Camp Sherman, Oregon. My entire life has been surrounded by creativity. My current focus is on fiber arts. This includes quilting, knitting, embroidery and hand applique. My style leans towards whimsical, colorful and a bit of the abstract.
Sujata Shah (She/Her) –Pleasanton, CA
Sujata Shah is an award-winning quilter and designer and author of Cultural Fusion Quilts. She finds inspiration in the rich handmade tradition of her home country, India; the quilts of Gee’s Bend; Indian and American utilitarian quilts and African textiles. Drawn to imperfections and irregularities of handmade crafts, Sujata believes each quilt has the personality of the maker. Using imperfections as a design element has led her to abstract interpretations of traditional quilt blocks. She finds hand stitching therapeutic and nourishing to the soul, ultimately helping her write personal stories in stitches.
