I have been an avid quilter since I was 8 years old. As a youngster, I learned the art of quilting and the love of sewing from my grandmother. I sat for hours with her, listening to the hum of the sewing machine. I watched her hands gently rock back and forth. She created what I came to love as her beautiful patchwork quilts. I learned how to make many types of quilts. My favorite part of the quilting process is designing and machine sewing baby quilts for boys and girls. Equally important, my homemade baby quilts are for sale online.
Therefore, I learned the art of hand and machine quilting from my grandmother when I was only 8 years old. Growing up in Western Pennsylvania, I continued the time-honored tradition of quilting, almost a requirement for girls growing up in rural areas of the state.
For years, I have made quilts for family and friends. Equally important, these quilts were for use with their own children or as shower gifts for someone special. My love of quilting is obvious in the quality of my work. Many lucky quilt recipients urged me to share my talents with others.
Many years, four children, numerous grandchildren, and family friends later, I started my online business. Moreover, I had the support and encouragement from my family.
Early in my quilting career, I finished every quilt with hand-quilting stitches. As the business grew, I switched to machine quilting to provide a more durable product that stands up to daily use.
Though I have a scientific background, my quilts are designed the old-fashioned way, using graph paper and colored pencils. Seeing my designs transfer from paper to fabric gives me a satisfying feeling of accomplishment.
