Sustainable Textile Design, Brand of Free Spirit Designs by Maday, LLC

Maday is a prolific art educator,, published artist and magazine contributor, based in the Midwest, USA, committed to bringing innovation and artistry to the forefront of her work. She is also passionate about creating natural spaces the whole community can enjoy.

Her mission is to nurture artistic platforms across cultures and generations to foster inclusive, creative work, while finding ways to minimize environmental footprint. 

 Learning from global, cultural textile traditions and exchanging powerful stories, continues to be a source of inspiration that she hopes to share with all.

Her goal is to unify students with different skill sets and share her love of art and vibrant textiles.  She combines paint, weaving, hand-stitching and machine sewing and embroidery to infuse her creations with energy and pay homage to her Cuban upbringing. Janome machines keep up with her big, scrappy ideas every step of the way.

Maday’s work has appeared in publications such as Beyond Words Magazine, Curated Quilts, Love & Patchwork Quilting Magazine, Uppercase magazine, the book Quilted and periodicals in her home state. She’s also presented virtually to the Indian Institute of Art & Design in New Delhi, India in 2020 and teaches at Guilds, Folk Schools, Quilt Shops and Quilt Shows.

Maday is a proud supporter of local non-profits, such as libraries, that spearhead fiber art education & outreach through community initiatives.

Maday uses 100% renewable energy in her studio.
