About Lois Ericson

Lois Ericson is a creative seamstress and fiber artist extraordinaire. Where others see obstacles and problems, Lois sees challenges and opportunities. She thrives on working through design ideas. "I don't have one piece of paper that says I know how to do anything," she exclaims. Trial and error are her companions, her studio is her laboratory. Surrounded by shelves filled with silks, wools and cottons, drawers bursting with unusual buttons and found treasures, she experiments.

"I have made many choices in my life and one of the best choices, has been my preference for sewing. I have, over the years, tried most artistic media. Sewing has been the most constant with great possibilities for creativity. When I'm not sewing, I'm involved with other art work; bookbinding, contemporary watercolors, collagé and writing.

I have a real need to be unique in my life and work. Manipulating and creating texture from ordinary cloth has been of particular interest to me. Combining texture and print (using stencils, fabric paint, silk screen and discharge) with traditional sewing techniques multiplies the possibilities."
 

She frequently writes articles for Threads magazine. Her Design & Sew Patterns collection are sold all over the United States as well as overseas.  Lois's artwork also appears in designs of handmade batik rayon fabric from Bali from The Batik Butik.
