Hi! I’m Emily, a quilter from Portland Oregon. I started quilting in January of 2021 with a New Year’s resolution to finish a quilt by the end of the year. I quickly fell in love with the art of sewing and ended up finishing my first quilt before the end of January. I post beginner friendly tutorials to share the magic of quilting and sewing with people at all skill levels. My goal is always to make quilting and sewing as accessible as possible and I love sharing my knowledge and passion with the world!
My name is Evan Dodson, I currently live in Knoxville, TN, and I love to quilt! I bought my first sewing machine in 2020, and I immediately fell in love with sewing. my specialty is layering meaning and stories into every aspect of the project, and I am always happy to tell you the stories about my projects. My favorite role in life is being an uncle, and that is what most of my sewing tends to revolve around these days. You can follow long with me as I quilt and learn more about sewing clothing and costumes for my niece and nephew.

My name is Ashlee, and I live in the beautiful state of Montana. I made my first quilt when I was pregnant with my daughter in 2015. That was the beginning of my quilting obsession. Years later, here I am. Writing quilt patterns, longarm quilting, and collecting more fabric than I could ever use. It’s amazing how one little project for my baby turned into a career.
