Quilting and sewing found their way into my life about nine years ago, but really, they've been part of my family for much longer. My great-grandmother passed her love of sewing down to my mom, and my mom passed it down to me — so every stitch I make carries a little bit of that legacy with it.

What I love most is the creative side of it all — figuring out how a quilt should come together, choosing just the right colors, watching a design take shape under the needle. My youngest daughter is convinced I can make just about anything, and honestly, trying to live up to that has pushed me to keep growing and trying new things.

Every quilt, pillow, and embroidered gift that leaves my sewing room is made with the same love and care I'd want for my own family — because that's exactly where this all started.
