My Story

​While Rachel's garments and quilts can be whimsical, political or a personal statement her work always reflects her love of traditional quilt making. She has done many one-woman shows around the country and her work has been featured in various gallery shows, magazines such as Threads, and “The Quilting Quarterly” on HGTV’s Simply Quilts.

​

Rachel has designed her own pattern line, RDKC Patterns. The line includes full patterns: "Picture This" Coat, “Picture This” Vest, The A-Line Coat, The Boxy Coat and The Flare Coat. She also has two wall quilt patterns called Scrap Happy and “Picture This” Nigerian Appliqué, as well as pattern for a "monster" sized purse called Monster Purse and a tiered skirt.
