Hi, I’m Leah.

I found quilting after a long fulfilling career as an RN during the early days of the pandemic. I was craving a different way to use my brain and keep my hands busy. And living in the Western North Carolina mountains, there is no shortage of amazing quilting talent. Under the guidance of some amazing quilting neighbors, the journey began!
I quickly fell in love with every part of this amazing craft. Fabrics, textures, threads, and especially being able to create something special for loved ones!
I jumped into making my own quilts and found that finishing the quilting process on a domestic machine can be quite challenging. Especially with larger quilts.
The answer to my dilemma? A APQS Millie with Intelliquilter on a 12-foot frame. I could quilt up to a king size. Joy!!!
While I’ve retired from nursing, I’ve found quilting for others to be an extension of caring that also suits my detail-oriented love of precision work.
In my time away from the machine I run, cycle, and hike with my husband and two dogs. I’m a chronic marathon runner and love to travel to races while also checking out the local quilt shops!
