Hello and Welcome! I'm Katrina.
Sewing has been a hobby through generations in my family. My introduction to sewing was through my grandmother and mother. My grandmother always had (and still always has) a quilt in progress. My mother quilted as well, but I remember her most for the sweet dresses she made for my sister and I when we were young.
My personal love of sewing really took off a few years ago when my husband bought me a sewing machine. There were a few items we wanted for our home that we couldn't find anywhere, so I had decided I would make them myself since I couldn't find exactly what I wanted in stores. After completing many personal projects, I expanded and made items for friends and family. I was pleasantly surprised to hear how much my friends and family loved the pieces that I made for them! My husband, as well as friends and family members, encouraged me to start an Etsy shop, and here I am!
My design process does not usually follow a common pattern; I design each piece accordingly to complement the fabric used in the design, and/or to improve the use of the product. Quilting is laid out as to enhance and complement the focal point of the design. Each piece is truly unique! I'm often asked how long my projects take to create; large wall hangings tend to require 8-15 hours from the design stage to finished product, depending on the intricacy of the design. Medium wall hangings tend to require 5-8 hours from the design stage to finished product. Placemats and table runner sets, depending on the intricacy of the quilting, usually require about 8 hours from design concept to final product.
I love to sew home decor pieces, taking traditional methods and incorporating modern aspects through color and/or design. If you are looking for something unique, you've come to the right place! If you have an idea for a custom order, I encourage you to send me a message!
Please, grab a cup of coffee and stay awhile. Think of all the ways you can use my items to complement your decor, or purchase something for a friend! Have an idea for a custom order? Let me know! I hope you enjoy!
