Riel lives in Quispamsis, New Brunswick with her family.<\/p>\n Artist Statement<\/strong><\/p>\n Modern Selvage Quilting<\/em> takes the use of recycled fabric selvages in today\u2019s quilts a step further.<\/p>\n Riel Nason believes that selvage quilts do not have to be made entirely of selvages using traditional blocks.\u00a0 Selvages can also be used as a design element — as just a small part of a bigger picture.\u00a0 In Modern Selvage Quilting,<\/em> featuring quilts from the book of the same name as well as others, selvages make up only part of the work.\u00a0 This allows a modern look to be achieved while still making wholly original quilts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Modern Selvage Quilting Artist Biography Riel Nason is a Canadian novelist and textile artist (quilter).
