My journey started around 2014 when there was a wall hanging I wanted made for our home that was quilted and then appliqued with wool. My mom was the only one I knew that quilted, so I asked her if she would make the quilt and I would do the applique. She promptly told me it was something I had the skill to do, and she would help me make the quilt.

She wanted to be sure I had some basics, so we made potholders. There was cutting, sewing, and binding. We just did a simple crisscross for the quilting due to the size. I immediately wanted to do something larger. My first quilt was a rail fence pattern and from there, it was off to the races.

I had a hard time finding someone in my area to quilt my tops for me. When I did, she moved out of state and sold her longarm. The goal for me was to always get to the point that I could do my own quilting. I even did a few on my home machine which was painful, literally. My shoulders would start to hurt so bad I wouldn’t be able to work on a piece for too long. So, I saved up and bought my longarm.

It was a happy day when my machine arrived, but I was also terrified. What if I spent all of this money and hated it? Well, once I got past my fear of even touching the machine I fell in love.

I decided that I didn’t want quilters to have to search high and low for someone to have quilt their beautiful creations or have to wait 6 months for a quilt to be completed. So, here I am offering longarm quilting services to not only people in my local area of Fairborn and Dayton, Ohio but those through out the US.
