Hi, I’m Joanna!

I’m a wife and a mom. I love being out in the country and grew up on a small farm. I started my career as an agriculture science teacher and started quilting after my mom gave me a sewing machine for a wedding gift.

My principal’s secretary gave me a beginner quilting book and some sweet words of encouragement to start my quilting journey. Both of my grandmothers were skilled seamstresses, but I didn’t find my love for sewing until they were both gone. I wish I had those precious moments with them to sew together, but I hope I can share sewing and quilting with my kiddos and leave them with that legacy one day.

I have a special love for hand sewing and English Paper Piecing. I love combining modern patterns with bright colors and bold geometric patterns.
I love just about every aspect of quilting–the planning, fabric selection, piecing, and quilting. I’ve always had a love for making things, but quilting 100% has my heart.

I love every minute of the journey and hope I can share my sewing adventures with you and we can discover new things together!
