Hi! I am Emi, a longarm quilter, pattern designer, wife & mother of four.
I was born in the United States, grew up in Kobe, Japan, and I recently moved to Colorado after two lovely years in Ontario, Canada.
My quilting seed was planted during quilting club in 3rd grade, but it did not sprout until my early 20s when I fell in love with a quilt at a friend's apartment made by her grandmother.
I often tell people that when you give a quilt or handmade treasure away, you not only touch the recipient, but others as well!

Teaching the Next Generation
The majority of children and young adults are not learning how to sew in the home or at school like so many did in the past.
