Heather G. Stoltz: Sewing Stories

 

Heather G. Stoltz discovered her love of fiber art when pursuing a Master's Degree in Jewish Women's Studies from the Jewish Theological Seminary in New York. Since then, she has been translating texts of the Jewish tradition into textile art, bringing her own interpretation to the ancient words. Heather also has a BS in Mechanical Engineering and a BA in Jewish Studies from Lafayette College in Easton, PA. Although she no longer works as an engineer, she puts these skills to use in the design of her quilts.

Heather's work has been shown nationally at venues such as the International Quilt Festival in Houston, TX and JOFA's 10th Anniversary International Conference on Feminism &Orthodoxy in New York. Her pieces have also been printed in several publications including Creative Quilting: The Journal Quilt Project, edited by Karey Patterson Bresenhan and Zeek Magazine. Heather has also created several commissioned pieces, sparked by the needs and desires of her clients.
