Well, let's see...their patterns appear in American Patchwork and Quilting, they design fabrics for RJR Fabrics and FreeSpirit and they publish books through C&T Publishers...all VERY mainstream quilting world things to do.
They are not art quilters or fiber artists, they are contemporary quilters and designers. There is a vast difference. They design and quilt in the here and now, not two centuries ago. Their quilts go on beds of all sizes or on the wall, your choice entirely. They aim their work and their workshops at those who would prefer to design and create their own quilts rather than follow a pattern that has been done over and over again. And now you know a little more about Ringle and Kerr than you used to.
