Hi, I'm Sarah.
I am passionate about color, art, and design. I frequently use geometric shapes in my quilts and pair these designs with bold solids & 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 stitching. Over the coming months, you will start to see more of those projects on this site.

What else... I am the Education Coordinator of the Knoxville Modern Quilt Guild (@knoxmqg on Instagram). Originally from Virginia, I have also lived in Georgia, Iowa, and North Carolina. I currently reside in the Knoxville, Tennessee area with my husband Doug, and our neurotic hound mix, CJ. We love to travel and spend time with friends and family. When I'm not quilting, you can probably find me with my nose buried in a good book, watching a movie, or enjoying good food with great people. I am a fan of the Oxford comma, small-batch bourbon, and long walks - preferably in the mountains or on the beach.
