About Me

I have been crafting things for as long as I can remember. As early as elementary school I was making and selling things to my friends. I have also been an entrepreneur from a very young age. It was probably around the age of 10 that I decided I wanted to be a fashion designer. I remember asking my mom to teach me how to sew. She handed me the manual to the army green 100lb sewing machine from Montgomery Ward and said "Figure it out". I did, and started sewing all sorts of odds and ends.

A few years later we took a family trip to Lancaster, PA. It was there I fell in love with the Amish Quilts. The entrepreneur in me saw what they were making on those quilts. As my fashion career did not seem to be going anywhere, I decided to pursue quilting instead. I finished my first quilt at the age of 13. It was a 9 patch quilt from whatever bits of fabric I could get my hands on.

I did not do a whole lot of quilting after that but a lot of sewing. It was not till I was married and pregnant with my first child that my passion was reignited. My limited knowledge of rather primitive more muted quilts was suddenly opened up to a world of color and creativity.  I have learned so much in such a small amount of time. I am not sure yet where my quilting journey is taking me, but for now I want to share that passion and creativity with others. 

I live in the small town or Taneytown in MD with my husband Dale, or 4 kids, Aiden, Paisley, Quinn and Bryce, lots of chickens, a crazy corgi Nash, and cat named Sherbert.

One thing I have learned about creative people, if they do one craft they most likely do at least 10 more! While I very much enjoy quilting I also knit, crochet, spin wool, weave Appalachian Rib Baskets and have even dabbled a little in wood turning.
