Description
In Moonglow, Alexia was inspired by the full moon shining on her garden at night. She wanted a range of soft and shaded earthy colors for this group, colors that would feel calming and inspiring but also rich in pigment. Moonglow is designed to coordinate with Alexia's Warp & Weft Moonglow woven collection.
Nashville-based, Alexia Marcelle Abegg was born in Folsom, California, on the day Mount St. Helens erupted. She has been inspired by her mother's and father's creativity and dedication to art throughout her life. After trying her hand at photography, acting, costuming, custom sewing, and many other creative pursuits, she found a home creating fine art quilts and sewing patterns while living in Brooklyn. She's also created a pattern company with her mom, Michelle called Green Bee Patterns and she was a founding designer of Cotton+Steel. She currently works mostly with clay, paper, textiles, paint, ink, and dye, and her hands are always moving.
Alexia loves tchotchkes, thrift store granny squares blankets, and all things 70's craft department. After a year of pandemic doldrums all she could think about was an explosion of color through the filter of nostalgia. She created a group that reminds her of slow analog afternoons rummaging through boxes of craft supplies with her grandma, who calls her and her sisters Honey. Alexia added five colors to her Add It Up basic, and also designed three canvases.
