| That's Sew Special! Specializing in the Quilting World! |
| 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 now live in Northeast, Ohio with my husband, 3 children, dog and 2 cats. My 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 my self and family. My first longarm quilting machine was purchased in 2001, a Nolting 18”, mainly as a way to finish my 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 my 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 me 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. Check out their website at |
