Sewing side of the studio |
Hello and welcome to your blog's eye view into my studio. In case we haven't met through Facebook or my personal blog, let me tell you a little about myself and
The Quilted House. My name is Michelle and I am so lucky to be the artistic and creative mind behind
The Quilted House. I make beautiful and unique quilted items from my wonderful studio in my home in Rochester, New York.
The Quilted House provides commissioned custom quilting and ready-to-purchase items from the online shop.

Notetaker listed in the shop |
I've been quilting and sewing for about ten years now. My mother taught me how to sew and my mother-in-law graciously taught me how to quilt. I've been going strong ever since. I do all my work on one of my two Husqvarna Viking Sapphire sewing machines - "Sapphire" and "Esmeralda" (yes, I, of course, name my machines.)
While I do sell my work at arts and crafts shows around town,
Etsy has been the online forum for my quilted wares for a little over a year now. Running an online shop is challenging, but I love the opportunity to reach people across the world. Items from my shop are in Norway, Denmark, Mexico, Canada, Ireland, New Zealand, Britian, and all across the United States. What a thrill it is to know that people all over the world are enjoying items made from my hands.

Michelle, I am so delighted to visit this colorful and creative space :)
ReplyDeleteYour work is just beautiful. I can see the love and thought behind your pieces.
Your studio is lovely! I always love seeing inside the creative spaces of other artists.
My mama is a quilter, and I'm lucky enough to have some of her handywork on display in our home :) I'd love to chat with you some time about your craft. Maybe you could help me find where to start with getting into art and craft fairs in the area?
:) Have a great week!
