While Meg Callahan makes these quilts in Rhode Island, her designs have more to do with her tiny hometown in Oklahoma than anything happening near her studio in Providence. The RISD grad draws influences from American Indian patterns and the "beautifully boring" landscape (her words) which surrounds her hometown of Edmond, Oklahoma.

How did she manage to snap a photo with her quilt as the backdrop to some epic wood chopping? She recently told Sight Unseen the photos were taken on a plot of land her sister's boyfriend owns in Oklahoma, and the man with the axe is his father, who frequents the plot to blow off steam by chopping wood.

Three Meg Callahan quilts are currently on sale at Matter.
