In 2018 I taught myself to quilt and just fell in love, and by 2019 I had begun ​dabbling with writing my first pattern. I was just doodling really and wondering if I ​could, or if I should. Then, during a Christian ladies retreat, we were all challenged ​to find a way to use our talents for God’s kingdom. I sat there staring at my hands ​thinking, I’m crafty. What in the world am I supposed to do with that? And in His ​still small voice (if you don’t know that story, break out your Bible and read 1 Kings ​19, it’s GREAT!) he says to me, “devotionals”. And I think of the patterns I’ve been ​longing to write. At the time, I had no idea even how to write a pattern, by what ​means and who would help or test or edit. But of course, He had all of that worked ​out.

And here we are, more than twenty patterns in and more new friends than I could ​possibly count. It turns out, I was the one who would be blessed. It would be me, ​who would learn and grow and who’s life would be changed. That has been the ​gift I have received from you, sweet quilty friends. Meeting you at quilt shows and ​when I’ve been invited to your guilds and retreats has been the honor of a lifetime. ​Hearing your stories and connecting with you over our shared faith, journeys, and ​yes even sometimes struggles and heartbreak has humbled me and taught me ​more than you know.

This is not my nine to five, but it is the joy of my heart and the calling of my Lord.

Thank you for stopping by. I sure hope today is not the last time we “meet”.

Each of our patterns are tested multiple times, and are also reviewed by my technical editor. ​Alas, we are humans and do make mistakes. I request your grace and understanding when that ​happens. Please check below for any updates to patterns that you have purchased. And if you ​find an error that we missed, I do welcome you to reach and let me know. I wouldn’t want ​another quilter to have the same issue. Thanks so much!
