About Us
Our Story
Dan began quilting in 2004 as a craft he could do with his Mom. Not having known how to use a sewing machine, Dan took a couple of classes and found he enjoyed paper piecing or foundation piecing. He especially liked those "challenging" patterns of Jacqueline deJonge of BeColourful and Judy Neimeyer of Quiltworx.
Dan keeps at least 4 projects going at one time....always adding a new one to the mix! With the addition of a Gammill longarm quilting machine with a Statler Sticher, it completes the circle. Brian Gray joined Dan in 2015 bringing his talents for machine quilting! Together, Dan and Brian enjoy working with other quilters on their projects. They look forward to the next project and meeting their next customer!
