 About
the Authors
Rachele Fisher is a former middle school and high
school Latin teacher with degrees in Classics, Greek, and
Latin. She has archaeology experience, with studies in Israel,
Egypt and Jordan. Rachele had seen many heartbreaking sights
of animal cruelty and neglect while living in various states
and traveling abroad. The unbearably helpless feeling of
seeing a little fellow suffer and having no control to help
has led her to become a supporter of rescue and humane groups.
Leaving behind her teaching career, she began creating adorable
doggie dollhouses for small dogs. In 2005, she developed
Studio D-og, where she has combined her love of art
and her love for dogs. The online boutique showcases one-of-a-kind
and custom dog beds that are designed to look like doll houses,
as well as fabulous Wearable Arf, wearable art for dogs,
for a private Beverly Hills and Hollywood clientele. Her
work has been featured in many luxury pet magazines and at
celebrity events and has even been seen "behind the
scenes" on film sets and at the 2006 New Year's Eve
party at Chateau Marmont.
Virgie Fisher designed and made her first quilt in
1989, depicting the history of the Sacramento area. Her quilt
Sacramento Sesquicentennial was displayed at the California
State Capitol and was purchased by the History Department
of the world famous Wells Fargo Bank. Wells Fargo then commissioned
her to create six quilts for their new 30 story, world-class
building in Sacramento. The six quilts, which are reproductions
of historical people from Wells Fargo history, were executed
in the dimensional fabric sculpture for which Virgie is well
known.
Virgie presents a lecture and fashion show describing her
techniques and design inspirations for quilt guilds, wearable
art groups, textile art groups and women's organizations.
Everyone enjoys her inspiring stories and studies about clothing.
Her accomplishments are pages long, and her quilts and fashions
are truly works of art that display her unique and imaginative
machine art applications. Students and teachers alike are
stirred with new enthusiasm after lectures and workshops
with Virgie.
