Hello! Thanks for visiting Quilt for Joy!

Long-arm machine quilting has been a part of my life since I was a freshman in high school, and even though there have been seasons of life when I haven’t quilted a lot, I’m always glad when I’m able to quilt.

In addition to quilting I also enjoy sewing, knitting, altering clothing, and making a variety of hand-made items. I blog about long-arm quilting I am doing for myself for clients on this site, and you can check out my other blog, By Kathryn, where I document non-quilting projects I am working on!

Here’s a few fun facts about myself:

  • Quilting makes me happy. No surprise there!
  • I’m a mid-west girl through and through… and I actually love snow – especially in November when my birthday is!
  • My husband and I met in Italy while studying abroad in college
  • I have three children who add lots of laughter and adventure to life
  • If you don’t find me quilting or working on projects, you’ll probably find me reading a book

I’m so glad you stopped by my website today and I hope you’ll visit again soon!
