Alison Moncrieff is a textile artist and quilter based in Oakland, California. Her primary practice centres on hand-stitched and mixed-media quilts made from repurposed cloth. Work has been juried into the Pacific International Quilt Festival (2022) and QuiltCon (2023), with exhibitions in the San Francisco Bay Area since 2014. She maintains a pattern design presence under @ali.wynne.pattern alongside her fine art textile practice.
Moncrieff's aesthetic is tactile and material-led. Her quilts combine hand piecing, hand quilting, and appliqué with found and repurposed fabrics - vintage kimono silk, acetate, nylon flags, and donated cloth. The portfolio features pattern design work informed by this material sensibility: organic, handmade compositions with expressive, non-commercial character. She describes an attraction to traditional processes that she then "defies a little."
Hand piecing, hand quilting, hand appliqué, hand embroidery, and machine piecing. Works with linen, silk, rayon, polyester, cotton, velvet, and repurposed textiles. Incorporates photographs into works as a memory-based element. Has designed original printed fabric (eucalyptus print, incorporated into a 2025 quilt). Outsources long-arm quilting when appropriate.
Fine art and exhibition focus. Limited commercial market evidence. Surface pattern design interest indicated by the @ali.wynne.pattern Instagram framing. Open to commissions.

The portfolio features pattern design work drawing on the geometric and organic language of quilting - block structures, pieced forms, half-lozenge shapes, and organic compositions. Hand-designed fabric is incorporated into quilts, indicating an active print design practice alongside fibre arts. The pattern work reflects the same material and formal sensibility as the fine art quilts.
