Maura Ambrose

About

Maura pioneered a movement by sharing her process for hand-dying fabrics and hand-stitching quilts through the lens of social media. By sharing her passion for the alchemy of plants that provide color and using those colors for quilt making, Maura inspired a wave of followers to try it too. Folk Fibers grew into a lifestyle brand that is international and sought after by collectors of heirloom quilts.Approaching the work through color and developing a sensitivity comes from getting to know a color from seed, to plant, to dye, to cloth. The studio and garden are a sanctuary of color, a place to commune with color.Maura lives with her husband and 2 kids on a hilltop in Bastrop, TX and are stewards of 10 woodland acres by the lower Colorado River. Living a lifestyle that feeds her creatively, choosing to ebb and flow with the seasons, are a way she stays authentic and the work is life-giving.
