Contributor Introductions

We’re excited to introduce you to the newest members of our team. With our pattern business steadily growing, and our family time shrinking, it seemed like it was time to welcome some bloggers on board to help keep this space from getting too quiet.  Each Wednesday for the remainder of the year you’ll be hearing from one of our lovely contributors, so we’d like to introduce them here.

Chrissy :: Sew Lux Fabric

Chrissy has always enjoyed crafts of all sorts and grew up watching her mother sew clothing, Halloween costumes, and more. She learned to sew from her mom as a girl and fell in love with fabric and quilts after high school. She enjoys using precuts and designing her own patterns for quilts, minis, and pillows, many of which she shares as tutorials on her blog. In 2010, she and her mom opened an online fabric shop and haven’t looked back! Chrissy will be hosting a mini-medallion quilt along with a new border added monthly.
