Back in 2011, as a mom of two toddlers, I discovered quilting as my sanctuary amid the chaos of motherhood. What began with two ‘toddler-sized movie quilts’ has blossomed into a daily joy, transforming my life as a wife, mom, and artist.

At ISeeStarsQuilting, you’ll find not just my story but a community where every stitch is a step toward confidence and self-expression. No matter your skill level, you deserve to feel empowered as you create beautiful quilts, one piece at a time. Let’s quilt together!

Side note: I’ve always been a bit obsessed with stars. I’ll let you ponder how that might have inspired the name ‘ISeeStarsQuilting’… ✨
