Strongly influenced by stories of Asian life and cultures told to her as a child by her missionary grandparents, she first went to Japan in 1985 to further her knowledge of textile dyeing and stenciling techniques. In 1989 she started a small pattern company, creating contemporary clothing and quilt patterns utilizing Japanese traditions and textiles.

Finkel & Daughter: Dealer of antique samplers, needlework and silk embroidery website provides a wealth of information and research on antique American schoolgirl samplers, needlework and silk embroideries.   Morris Finkel first opened an antiques store on Pine Street in Philadelphia in November of 1947, continuing a family tradition in the antiques trade. Pine Street had been the historic antiques district in Philadelphia for over one hundred years and was obviously the perfect location for a business selling period antiques. Located at the corner of 10th and Pine Streets, the business began and remains in a circa 1810 building with two floors of antique furniture from the 18th and 19th centuries, a large collection of period accessories and most importantly, an internationally acclaimed selection of antique samplers, needlework and silk embroideries from the 17th through the mid 19th centuries, which is now the cornerstone of the business.  In 1975, Morris
daughter, Amy Finkel, joined him, making this business a true family venture.
