Happy 2026!
New Longarm, New Adventures
& New Grandbaby!

The new year is starting off strong in my sewing studio, and I have so much exciting news to share with you! From studio upgrades to teaching plans and precious family moments, 2026 is already full of blessings.

Big News! Second Longarm Machine in the Studio

I’m thrilled to announce that I have added a second longarm machine to my studio! This new computerized machine will be dedicated exclusively to edge-to-edge quilting services, while my hand-guided longarm will continue to be used for all custom quilting.

With this addition, I’m now offering competitive pricing starting at just $0.02 per square inch for computerized edge-to-edge designs. You can choose from hundreds of quilting designs, with new patterns being added to my design library all the time. This allows for faster turnaround while still delivering beautiful results for your quilts.

Life Beyond the Studio

Over the holidays, my husband and I enjoyed a fabulous vacation to Argentina with friends. From incredible food to beautiful sights, it was a trip we’ll always treasure. We are also excited that we welcomed our second grandchild this month, giving us even more to celebrate.

There is truly so much to be thankful for. My clients and customers are simply the best, and I’m incredibly grateful for your continued support.

Wishing you a creative and joyful start to the new year—

With Love & Stitches,
