Hi, I'm Kelly I live on the West Coast in the South Island, New Zealand and I made my first quilt 15 years ago for my unborn son, and that was it
—I was hooked.
Over the years, I’ve experimented with different quilting styles, fabrics,
and techniques.
I know firsthand how frustrating it can be to finish a quilt on a domestic machine.
The shoulder pain, the puckering, the sheer size of it—it’s enough to leave a quilt top unfinished for months (or years!).
I love big quilts, and I'm not alone, which is exactly why I got my first long-arm quilting machine, A Handiquilter Fusion with the Prostitcher. I now own a
Nolting Pro 20 with Intelliquilter and am loving it.
Just stress-free, professional quilting that lets you skip to the good part—snuggling under your finished quilt.
Whether it’s edge-to-edge quilting, medium or dense quilting, or binding,
I take the final step off your plate—so you can get back to what you
love most: piecing beautiful quilts.
My goal is simple: to help busy, creative quilters like you get your quilts finished without the struggle, so you can enjoy the beauties you’ve
worked so hard on.
Think of me as your quilting sidekick—I do the heavy lifting (literally), so you don’t have to. No more wrestling large quilts through your machine like it’s a wild animal.
No more waking up with a sore shoulders.
