About Us
My Story
As a young child, I remember my grandmother sitting and dawning socks. She would give me a piece of scrap material, a jar of buttons, along with a needle and thread. My job was to sew those buttons onto the scrap of material. Once finished, I'd cut them off and put them back into the same jar to be ready for the next time.
Throughout my life I have sewed or been around sewing but it wasn‘t until I was married that I started quilting. My first quilt was a star that my mother-in-law had made during the war. I purchased a wooden quilting frame and began quilting by hand. This was the start of it all. As time passed I wanted to do something that was "fun", so I decided to start making baby quilts. These were theme oriented such as Peter Rabbit, Precious Moments, Dragons and many more. These themes came to life for new moms and their newborns. As a mother and a school teacher, this gave me and my family an opportunity to be home in the afternoons and enjoy a hobby of sewing and quilting.
Let me fast forward a little for you. Today I wish to share my love of quilting.
Machines, Batting and Thread
I love working on Bernina machines. Here in my little studio you will find mostly Bernina machines. I find the Bernina brand gives me the precision that I require of myself to have a business. My machines of choice are: Bernina 570QE, a Bernina Air Serger L850 and of course the Bernina Q24 11 foot quilting machine with Q-Matic and the Bernina Studio with Q-Matic.
As a retailer, I am able to provide you with the best pricing on Quilter's Dream batting. If you find a different batting at a cheaper price that's fine. I do not work on cheap batting. The quality of batting does make a difference.
Glide thread is used primarily on our quilts. If you are in the market to purchase thread please give me a call.
Quilter's Dream Batting
Since starting my business I have used mostly Quilters Dream Batting. From finding it easy to longarm, beauty of finished product, and most of all, the look once it has been washed.
Customers come in saying just use what you think is best. What is best is how that quilt will be used. Check the guide to help you determine your best look.
