Take a minute to write an introduction that is short, sweet, and to the point. Use this space to tell people how you’re an expert in Kawadi and you love to teach it.

let’s get personal…

Very into yarn dyed fabrics, slow stitching, wiener dogs, baking, my husband (sorry, so basic), puzzle games, and cinnamon rolls

Not a fan of doing laundry, gatekeeping, stress, perfect points, quick projects, housework (except vacuuming), the sound of a bouncing ball

but my favorite thing of all is making stuff

i haven’t always been a quilter

In fact, I was an administrative assistant in my past life. I love being the essential part of the team that keeps everything running, but doesn’t have to make the big decisions.

I started quilting when I was 25. I was way younger than any other quilters I found online or in-person. It wasn’t the most welcoming crowd to try to join at that time. Either I was patronized or I was ignored.

Snow-covered lake with rocks and pine trees, mountain backdrop, and the sun shining through the trees, creating a starburst effect.

When I’m not quilting, you can find me…

More text about the personal shit you think people don’t care about but they really do, like your last vacation and your favorite trashy TV show that you binge watch.
