About our Work

David and Trish are a husband and wife who quilt. They would love for you to get to know them through their fiber art designs. When they mention that they make quilts most people think of traditional designs. They will warn you up front, these are not your grandmothers' quilts.

As the postcard for the show that was at "The Framery & Fine Art Gallery" says:

"Painters use paint, and fiber artists use fabric and less traditional textiles to create works which encompass abstracts to pictorials. Color, design, composition and meaning are the foundation of all fine art and is no less true here."

I think that says it all. Browse through the gallery and visit the links of the people and groups that inspire them.

Check out the calendar to see where their quilts are being displayed.


From Edge 2 Edge - Who we are - What inspires us

As fiber artists David and Patricia Charity have participated in various local, regional and national exhibits. David and Patricia's art quilts run from abstract to representational. Their work has been displayed in several regional galleries, including Soft Expressions (Anaheim, Ca), the Gallery at the Merc (Temecula, Ca.), the gallery at Quilt Visions (Point Loma, San Diego, Ca.), the Acorn Gallery (Idyllwild, Ca.), The Framery and Fine Art Gallery (Whittier, Ca.), and Tesoro's, a local winery with a gift shop (Temecula, Ca.).

David and Trish Charity's fiber art pieces include many unusual materials. One of their current favorites are the fabrics from Ghana, Africa. David and Patricia have been able to pick up some wonderful pieces from a vendor (Ananse Village) at the Long Beach Festival. This is the newest of the shows put on by the International Quilt Festival.

David and Patricia Charity also incorporate silks, decorator fabrics, Stewart Gill paints, SetaColor paints and print their own fabrics. David Charity has also used Spoonflower and Fabric on Demand (both print on fabric from your file) to have a fabric printed in a larger size than can handled on a personal printer.

Ananse Village has updated their website. They have a wonderful array of other items for sale beyond their fabulous fabrics.
 From Edge 2 Edge Inspirations The Charity's live in the beautiful area of Temecula in southern California. They are not too far from wine country and have an abundance of inspiration for their art.

Is our other blog and snippets of out work have been posted herer
Patricia donated a small quilt to the 2009 SAQA reverse auction named: Rita Experiences Her First Hot Flash.

This is what Lisa Ellis, the winner of the auction says about the quilt: "This is the second piece I purchased in round one of the SAQA auction. It's called Rita Experiences Her First Hot Flash. The artist is Patricia Charity. So you can probably guess why this piece was meaningful to me. Hint: I celebrated my 50th birthday recently. The thread work is stunning."
(Thank you Lisa, for the compliment)

Patricia has had several pieces sold through a local winery: Tesoro Winery. The pieces have had a wine theme and Patricia has had the honor of meeting the purchasers. We would like to thank them for their support.
