Minick & Simpson
Polly and Laurie are sisters that share of the love all things textile. They are the authors of "Folk Art Friends; Hooked Rugs and Coordinating Quilts"; "Everyday Folk Art; Hooked Rugs and Quilts to Make"; Modern Primitive Quilts: Redefining Country Style," and "Americana Rugs". Laurie is known for the quilts she creates and Polly hooks a rug to match. They have both been featured in various magazines including Country Home, American Patchwork & Quilting, McCall's Quilting, Victoria, and Architectural Digest. They have combined all these loves into fabrics that include 100% cotton prints, Classic twills and 100% over-dyed wools. Polly and Laurie travel and teach together occasionally. This summer (2009) they will be teaching at the 1800 House on Nantucket for the Nantucket Historical Organization.
