Biographical Information Rosalie Dace is a full time quiltmaker whose work reflects her passion for color, pattern and texture. She has had a lifelong interest in textiles and embroidery and has a degree in Fine Art and English. While she values the traditions from which our quiltmaking has come, she believes that a quilt should say something about its time and place in history. This and her awareness of being a South African artist give her work its particular character. Occupation: Artist; Teacher Medium: Contemporary Quiltmaking Born: Durban, South Africa; 1947.
