Individual Member, California

Tara Faughnan is an avid quilter, teacher and pattern designer based in Oakland, CA.
At the core of her work is a fascination with color interaction and the dynamic play between shapes. She is drawn to the striking simplicity of antique quilts, the vibrant palette of global textiles, and the unpredictable energy of improvisational pieces. These influences shape her designs, where she aims to balance simplicity with complexity, and harmony with a touch of the unexpected.
