About Me

I started making quilts when my first child was born in 1986, and used quilting as a type of therapy ever since.  I
own
my own company, ‘That’s Sew Special!’, a sewing venture that began with crafts and wall hangings in
1986, and grew to encompass Longarm Quilting in 2001.  I grew up in Northwest Ohio, and n
ow live in
Northeast,
Ohio with my husband, 3 children, dog and 2 cats.

M
y first experience in a quilt show was a first place ribbon for a commissioned quilt that I pieced and someone
else quilted.  Other ribbons have followed, although
I do not compete often.  I prefer judging at shows, its my
way to share my love of the art.


I started quilting small seasonal wall-hangings, T-shirt quilts for members in the community, quilt tops for m
y
self
and family.  My first longarm quilting machine was purchased in 2001, a Nolting 18”, mainly as a way to
finish m
y own tops and T-shirt quilts for customers.  I enjoy machine quilting so much I started quilting for a
small handful of customers in the local area.   A few years later, as m
y customer base grew, I upgraded and
now own a Nolting PRO Series 24 with Intelliquilter (IQ) Longarm Quilting Machine.  This longarm machine
has many additional features that allow m
e to do more of a professional job.  

My Friends say I "ooze" creativity when I design a quilt with all parts, pieces, and instructions.  I make them into
kits for everyone to
make and enjoy.  I have many to pick from, check out my "Store".
I share
my passion of quilting by hosting a quilt club in my home and participate in the Ohio Longarm Quilter's
Group.
