Inspired by the "barn raising" Amish quilt style, I wanted this quilt to have an eclectic mixture of old and new. The blocks in the center start smaller then the size of a quarter, and get larger with each added row. Prominent colors in the mix are: navy blue, cream, yellow, tan, and some reds. All these classic colors mixed together create a seamless look that will be cherished for years. It is densely quilted using a floral motif and the backing is a dark blue. It is created using 100% cotton fabrics, batting, and threads and lovingly and thoughtfully put together and sewn by myself in my studio. In the pictures, I have the quilt displayed on a Queen sized bed. A personalized quilt label and hanging sleeve can easily be added at no charge upon request, I want this quilt to be a heartfelt gift from you to whomever it is intended for.

OUR STORY
First off, thank you for checking out my website! Sealed began as my creative outlet, and I'm so lucky to be able to create for others now! I received my first sewing machine (a Brother Pacesetter, which still works!) as a Christmas present from my parents when I was 7, and I've been sewing up a storm since then. I would come home from school and instead of going to soccer practice like a normal child, I would retreat to my machine to complete the new curtains and matching pillows I was making for my playroom or to finish the cushions for my dad's boat.
Fast forward 10 years, I was still sewing but was told that I needed to go to college for something that "could actually make money"… so I went to become a nurse. I received my Registered Nursing license and did that for a bit, but after every shift I would come home and troll the internet for new fabrics or work on one of the dresses I had previously started sewing. I liked nursing, but I would find myself thinking of different ways to hem a dress while doing wound care.
So when I had the opportunity to sew full time, I jumped at the chance!

For Custom PillowI LOVE the finished pillow! It's exactly what I wanted and I was able to choose my fabric swatches, detailed trim and embroidery thread for the monogram. Well done!
