“It’s a pleasure for me to work with fabrics,” Epley said from her home in Lexington, Va., where she spends most days making art. “I’ve always enjoyed it so much.” “I’ve always loved clothes, so I just decided I would make a jacket for myself,” she said, explaining that, for fun, she quilted horses and a colourful carousel on her garment.Photo by Jaime WindonWhile wearing the jacket on a cruise with her husband, “two ladies came up to me and said, ‘Where did you get that jacket?’ I was so flattered,” Epley recalled. “It just went from there.”
