Tilleke Schwarz

Tilleke Schwarz...I adore her embroidery work. It is bright, unorganized and 

childish. The pieces she embroiders are inspired from folk art and things in her daily 

lifeHer work includes contemporary elements, text, traditional images from samplers,


 graffiti, and icons. All of her works are hand embroidered and end up looking 


like a page from a sketchbookShe does not plan out her embroideries nor does she use 


an embroidery hoop or sewing machine. Her work is so simple, yet complex...as Jenn 


would call it Eye Candy. She uses simple lines that I wish to carry over in
my work.
