A little bit about me......
My love for sewing started, as a little girl, with my Grandmother.
Making gingham serving aprons for the church ladies.
I haven't stopped sewing since!
Piecing quilt tops for 40 years now and professionally
long-arm quilting 10 years.
I Love Old Quilts! Each top I buy is a piece of lost history.
Lost is the name of the maker and what her intentions were.
Was this quilt going to be a gift...or was it needed to keep her family warm next winter? Why wasn't she able to finish it?
Who packed it away?
I purchase quilt tops anywhere I can find them!
Antique stores, flea markets, yard sales, and Ebay.
I'm always on the look out!
I make the necessary repairs and then find
the perfect backing fabric.
After quilting and hand stitching the binding,
I machine wash and dry on low
giving the quilt the vintage "wrinkled" look.
Can you imagine how happy the piecer would be
to see her quilt finished?

I love the entire process.

Quilting is My Passion!
I love the entire process.
From choosing the pattern, finding beautiful fabrics,
piecing the top, than designing the perfect quilting motif.
I started my longarm quilting business in 2001
while living in Las Vegas, NV.
After struggling to quilt on my domestic sewing machine,
I thought, there has to be a better way!
When I told my husband I wanted to buy
a "longarm" quilting machine
and would need to take over our two car garage,
he laughed saying, "How big could a sewing machine be?"
He wasn't expecting 12 feet!
