My challenge is to provide you with items that become heirlooms for your family and friends. With a touch of nostalgia and a dash of whimsy my patterns will provide an innovative starting point for you. I was raised in a Mennonite home in Oregon and remember spending many days playing under large quilts, during a quilting bee. This reminiscing instills a desire in me to create items that bring the thoughts of "oh, I remember that" and "my grandmother or great grandmother had one of those"! My Mother taught me to share and save, recycle and restore which is why many of my patterns are made from recycled fabrics and found items. It is exciting to create something wonderful from simple found items and we can find great joy in doing so! Chris Thomson, Sew Inspired Designs
