The first quilt I ever made was a beautiful quilt with family photos all over it for my parents 40th Anniversary gift. My parents absolutely loved it! I then decided that because I put all of that time and work into it and it turned out really great, I should probably make myself one too. So, I found a picture that inspired me and took it to my aunt (the wonderful person who taught me how to sew), asking her if she thought we could design a quilt from it. She laughed and said I was being very ambitious for my second quilt, but because she is awesome she helped me design a quilt for myself, that to this day is one of my favorite makes. After that, I was totally hooked!! Something that was supposed to be a one time deal, turned into a passion for me.

I have continued to create beautiful quilts and have also created a beautiful line of project bags. I love to hear how much people enjoy their handmade items! I love making custom things that I know will bring a smile to someone's face!

When I am not sewing....i love travelling, yoga and staying fit, my motorcycle, hiking, the great outdoors, tattoos, sarcasm, bacon and of course the cutest little man in the world (my young son).

Thank you for supporting handmade!
