Backroads Mama

Backroads Mama Backroads Mama offers handmade rag quilts and custom pieces nursery items for you and those you love! Hi! I'm Tess Weber-Popejoy,
the Mama behind Backroads Mama.

I'm a wife and stay-at-home Mom to two awesome boys: Asher(13) and Adler(10). I have a love for all things vintage and beautiful. About seven years ago while searching for a unique baby shower gift I discovered rag quilts. I haven't stopped making them since! What started as a hobby has grown into a business for me and I'm loving every minute of it! I love the challenge of taking your thoughts, co

lors and schemes and pulling it all together in a cohesive look that is perfect for your room or gift!

I will have FALL runners Serendipity's Booth at Heart's Desire for the Fall Open house by the end of this month -- it has been a long time since I've made runners so I'm happy to bring them back.

And I'm doing something I haven't done in probably close to 10 years... a vendor show! I was very interested in this one and when the date was announced I was bummed that I would be out of town but it sounds like my Mom is going to work it for me so I will be getting those details to you! This sounds like a really fun event that I hope you make it out to!

I think it’s finally safe to say my serger is fixed!!!

Last Friday I got a call from Kim McWhorter — she said they have Juki sergers at McWhorter Bedding and that Corey could fix most problems they come across.

He stopped by Monday afternoon and after a few tweaks I have been running ever since 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

HUGE thanks to Corey and Kim for literally saving my machine and my sanity this week.

Day 3 of the breakdown…. And this serger isn’t the only thing breaking down 🫠.

I can’t just take a 275 # machine somewhere to be fixed. I’m pretty mechanically inclined but I’m losing my mind at this point.
