I’ve been crafting for as long as I can remember, but it wasn’t until 2004 that I got my first sewing machine. I taught myself how to sew on a pattern that was way more difficult than any sensical beginner should ever attempt (and on satin, organza and about 1,000 miles of tulle, no less). I’m pretty sure I’ve made every sewing mistake in the book, but I can rip a seam like nobody’s business! #keepcalmandgrabtheseamripper

I’ve always been fascinated by the quilt making process. In 2014, I finally decided to give it a try and ended up in all sorts of love. A year later I started Gypsy Moon Quilt Co. – focusing on a more sustainable method of quilting while giving new life to thrift-sourced and repurposed materials. I strive to create beautiful, one-of-a-kind, modern heirloom quilts that can be loved for many generations, all while remaining as green as possible.

My tiny tribe of four is always on the move. Since meeting my husband in 2002, we’ve traveled around quite a bit – living in Florida, New York, California, Texas & now Vancouver, BC.

With a total of two countries, four states, six cities and seventeen moves under our belts, we’ve come to view ourselves as nomads of sorts. Gypsy souls. Just trying to find our place in this world and enjoy every experience in the process.
