Eileen Doughty's specialty is creating landscape art quilts. She founded Doughty Designs in 1991 and has been creating commissioned custom, heirloom quilts and textile art ever since.
I love the concept of "place" and so my preferred subject matter is the landscape. Over the years I have created a broad range of work from bed quilts to wall hangings, postcard size to mural size, traditional to abstract, and wearables. I also teach and lecture on various aspects of quilting.
