This week, we will have fidget quilt kits to make for Dementia patients. If you work on at least 2 of these (or more!), you can skip the $8.00 fee for the evening!

If you've not been out to Open Sew, come check it out! We have plenty of space to spread out and work on whatever projects you wish!

Hello Quilty Friends! My studio is open and we are having regular Open Sew evenings on (most) Tuesday evenings 5pm-9pm. Please check out the details on my website, linked below.

If you are new to sewing, a seasoned sewist or quilter, looking for quilty friends to sew with, or maybe just looking for a reason to get out of the house once a week... there are so many reasons to come check out the space!

I am very proud to share I won Best of Show in Longarm Quilting in the Des Moines Area Quilt Guild 2024 Quilt Show! This is 2nd year in a row!
This beauty was pieced by my friend Anna Pilcher and she trusted me to custom quilt it. Thank you Anna for your spot on beautiful piecing!!

Hello Friends! I've decided to have a series of sewing days for Tshirt quilt making! If you want to make one for graduation coming up, or just because you've always wanted one, this is for you!

No charge for the "classes", I just hope you would hire me to quilt it for you! (Also no pressure if you don't)

First night of "class" will be this Thursday, March 28th, 5:00pm at my house. We will decide from there schedule, and also supplies you need, average cost of things, etc. No sewing this first night, just cutting and ironing/interfacing. So bring a bag of Tshirts and scissors.

Message me if you are interested! I have room for about 6 quilts in progress and if you need to use a machine, I probably can do that too, I have several!!

I know this is last minute planning, but ... let's do it!! All you need is a bag of shirts (anywhere from 12 to 30!), a pair of scissors. We will discuss materials you'll need to finish.

Please tag a friend who might be interested!!

Another wonderful quilt completed and given to the owner. This wasn't a group effort, Krist made this and I was lucky enough to get to quilt it! Way to go Kristi!

This was a group quilt done by my quilty group. Pattern is Blown Away by Free Spirit.
It's been a long few years in the making, we started in the fall of 2019, and then ... 2020. But we finished via mail and a retreat last year. Then it made a few shows and finally was able to give it its owner Sheri!!
