Allie Dudley is a textile artist currently working primarily in weaving, stitching, quilting, spinning, and dyeing. Their work originates in historical textiles, drawing on Appalachian coverlets, antique stitching samplers, and folk garments. Allie is currently focusing on creating textiles completely from the ground up, from spinning and dyeing yarn through weaving, in order to connect more deeply with their fiber ancestors and the land where the fiber originates.

They lives and weaves on Tsalagi (Cherokee) land in western North Carolina.
