Jenny had spent nearly two decades living on a self-sufficient homestead in the countryside of Norway. When she moved back to New York a few years ago, she reached out to me to design a quilt out of her old clothes: a goat-milking skirt, a black linen dress she’d sewn herself, a rad polyester 70s robe. It looks right at home in her folk-art museum of a house in upstate New York.
