My love of sewing began slowly when I got married in 1992. I sewed home dec type items out of necessity. I started quilting in 1994 after a miscarriage to keep my mind off my loss. I was hooked on quilting after that and began to make bed quilts, wallhangings, etc. Some friends & family urged me to open an etsy shop and in 2008 I did and have been so pleased with the experience!
Eventually, we added on a room that is over 200 sq feet of beautiful, creative work space for me to quilt and sew my heart out. I call it my happy place & enjoy being in it every day!
I really love color & enjoy finding a fabric with an unusual color combination and designing a palette after that. Sometimes I'll see a stunning color combination somewhere in nature and pull some fabrics together to mimic that vision.
I have allowed my etsy shop to change over the years to reflect what customers were asking for. I started off with tote bags and baby blankets & the blankets did really well, so I expanded from there offering different sizes and styles as well as traditional quilts. Eventually I added crib bedding to my shop as a natural addition to the baby blankets. Right now I'm focusing on patchwork and minky blankets and quilts with a diaper bags as I'm able to make them.
I am grateful to God for every day I am able to sew and I get excited every day that I get to walk into my sewing room and play with my fabric. I give God the glory for my successes!
