Growing up, I was surrounded by the makings of my mother--she favored cross stitch kits but turned them into everything under the sun: Christmas ornaments, framed wall hangings, baby blankets, pillow cases, tapestries, photo album covers, handkerchiefs, and on and on. I'm so delighted by the heirlooms she's made for me, and looking back on my childhood it's obvious that things always had her personal, loving touch.

As an adult myself, I've found a creative outlet in quilting. I took a class in high school (really, to just fill the credit) and fell in love. I'm now totally obsessed with fabric and arranging and rearranging, finding a new pattern or creating one myself. I learned the old-fashioned technique of hand-stitching the top with perle cotton, connecting the modern-design quilts with memories of the past. My quilts are a little different--and a little imperfect--because of this technique, which I think makes them all the sweeter.

Since high school I've branched out into other wares, and with the pandemic I became an expert mask maker. Recently I’ve hit my stride with fabric pet portraits. I hope in my shop you are excited to find unique and quirky quilts, patchwork pouches and sleeves, colorful masks, the odd earring or two, and inspiring art pieces. As an environmentalist, I do my best to not waste anything and repurpose items wherever possible.

Thank you for visiting my shop. I hope you find some heirloom-worthy pieces here, made with lots of love!
