Billy’s interest in quilting and fabric design was sparked when he attended a free quilting workshop with his sister, Yvonne, at her local library in Victoria, Texas. He was intrigued by how simple fabrication techniques were used to create compositions of rich geometric complexity and profound meaning. He was instantly hooked, and he bought his first sewing machine immediately upon returning to New York City. Billy’s architecture office in the Flatiron District of Manhattan transformed at night into a quilting studio where friends and clients would often stop by to examine his latest design experiments.
