Some custom orders just mean a little more.
I didn’t become a maker because of Instagram or Pinterest. It started with playing Barbies on the floor of my momma’s sewing room. Back-to-school shopping meant trips to Hancock Fabrics, flipping through pattern books and picking out the perfect fabric for new outfits. Sewing was part of our everyday life, and some of my sweetest memories are tied to the things my momma made with her hands.
When I got married, my Mom transitioned from sewing clothes to making quilts. Our first Christmas as newlyweds, she gifted us a quilt made just for us. And when the grandchildren came along, each one received a quilt made with love by Grandma. Those quilts are more than fabric and stitches; they’re pieces of her love that our family will treasure for years to come.
So when a custom order came through for prize ribbons for a quilt show celebrating its participants and their handmade quilts, it meant a little more to me. Every quilt tells a story, whether it’s about the maker, the memories behind it, or the fabric chosen. I was honored to create these ribbons celebrating the stories stitched into every handmade quilt.
