my story
In 2020, I launched a home decor knitting/crochet business. I’ve knitted and crocheted for 40+ years so it felt natural and fun to do. I sold pieces regularly on Etsy but then something happened…
My niece was having a baby and I wanted to make her something sweet, something baby could love for years to come. So I got to work and crocheted a beautiful little blanket but I worried that his little hands would get tangled in the stitches so I decided I needed to make a quilt and thats how it all started. I fell in love with hand stitching it all together. Once I had finished, all I could think about was making another. Quilt designs just poured out of me. Soon I had a stack of designs that I just needed to make. I couldn’t ignore it. So, I started a quilt shop.
I’ve always enjoyed sewing. In fact, I had built a career around it. Years ago, I had created an independent clothing line featuring original work. I was proud of it; my Grandma Olga was proud of it. It was featured twice in DisFunkshion Magazine!! Sewing, designing and painting was something my Grandma and I bonded over but after her death, I just couldn’t bring myself to do it anymore because I missed her so terribly. Quilting brought me back home and reunited the connection I had with my Grandma and my craft. I know that when I create, she’s around and that’s comforting to feel.
slow stitchesI love the nostalgic feeling it gives me to hand stitch quilts together and hand dye fabric.
There’s definitely a certain amount of folklore in it. Slow, intentional making makes my heart soar. There is something truly beautiful, timeless and magical about a hand stitched, naturally dyed quilt; they are full of yummy texture, warmth and comfort. Taking 10-12 weeks (from start to finish) to make, they truly are a labor of love! My hope is that they make you feel the same way— whether through purchasing one I’ve sewn or making one of your own with a pattern I’ve provided you with.
My mission is To introduce others to quilt making—and help them fall in love with it the way I did.
My mission is to help makers slow down and reconnect with their craft through intentional, soulful quilting. I design patterns that build confidence and offer low-commitment projects: quick wins that are beginner-friendly (some intermediate), giftable, and satisfying to finish. Rooted in classic blocks, hand stitching, and thoughtful construction, my designs are meant to feel timeless rather than trendy. Whether you’re making your first quilt or your fiftieth, I want the process to feel grounding, approachable, and deeply rewarding.
