Hi, I'm Sarah.
I am passionate about art, color, and design. I frequently use geometric shapes in my quilts and pair these designs with bold solids or graphic prints to create beautiful, functional quilts. I also have a fondness for Modern Traditionalism. "What is Modern Traditionalism?!" you ask? Simply put, it means I like to take traditional quilt blocks and use them in unexpected ways by playing with size, layout, and color. My quilts are all about the color. I am a firm believer that there are no ugly colors, just ugly color combinations!
All of my quilts are created by me on my domestic sewing machine; many of them with free-hand, linear quilting. 'Freehand' means I refrain from using guides, rulers, or templates in most instances. This is a design choice that lends to the handcrafted, unique look of each quilt.
In addition to quilting, I do a bit of knitting and cross stitch. Over the coming months, you may start to see more of those projects on this site.

What else... I am the Education Coordinator for the Knoxville Modern Quilt Guild. Originally from Virginia, I have also lived in Georgia, Iowa, and North Carolina. I currently reside in eastern Tennessee with my husband Doug, and the newest addition to our family, a chocolate lab named Brody. We love to travel and spend time with friends and family. My favorite things include Stephen King, Peloton, sushi, and Scottish brogues.
