My Story


I have been piecing Quilts for 4 years now.  My friend Debbie said you need to make your granddaughter a quilt for Christmas.  I was like I don't know about that.  She offer to help and so the journey started.  I pieced my 1st quilt which turned out wonderful!  Hailey used it as a Christmas tree skirt that was in her room this past Christmas.

 I fell in love with quilting at that point and have been quilting away since then.  I started out on a New Home used sewing machine that was my Aunts.  Needless to say it was used and I started having problems with it and would get very upset with it.  I told my husband Mike that I was going to buy a sewing machine.  I don't think he believed me.  Put when I showed up with a brand new Baby Lock sewing machine he didn't say a word.  She has been humming away ever since.

In 2014 Debbie and I went to Paducah, KY to the quilt show and we were amazed about these Long Arm Quilting machines.  How wonderful it would be to have one of these.  We talked on and off about long arms for a year. When we went back to Paducah in 2015 we stopped at the APQS booth and talked with Angela found out that she has a store in Louisville, KY and that she rents out her machines!  We were all about this.  Book our date and well needless to say I fell in LOVE with Millie.

I wanted to do my own quilting.  We book another date and went back and of course I LOVE it even more and thought I can do this.

Found out they were having a Road Show and so I sign up to go to find out more information.
Then Millie was purchase with a lot of back and forth of yes and no but I took the plunge.  Millie was delivered on August 17, 2015 to her new home.





Getting Millie I thought I had enough room for her in my sewing room, come to find out I was wrong. So this lead to a remolding job.  Ended up knocking out a wall and making the sewing room a very nice size room to be able to sew, quilt and even a couch.









It hard to believe that I have had her 1 year.  I have taken the year to get to know her and each day is a new day learning about her.

Below are some quilts that I have done or my friends have done on Millie.  









If you would like more information about pricing, turn around time please leave me a comment and I will get back with you.
