Anita, Brenda and Cheryl are sisters who, along with our brothers, David & Eric, spent our earlier years in the Rumford/Mexico area of Maine. In those early years, we watched, amazed, as our Mom made clothes, quilts, etc. out of flour sacks and any other scraps on hand. Later, our Nana spent many hours with us teaching us how to make quilts for ourselves and our children. It was from her that we learned the basics of quilt making.While we have expanded our quilting abilities to include newer methods and equipment, we are still very grateful to Nana for the love of the art that she instilled in us. We sometimes chuckle, however, as we try to imagine Nana working with a rotary cutter and mat!
Our quilts are machine stitched and are tied rather than quilted. Our favorites include the Fan, Single Irish Chain, Log Cabin, Dresden Plate, Simply Squares and, of course, Nana's Crazy Patchwork. It is our goal to keep our quilts simple enough that we can offer them at an affordable price.
Now that we are grandmothers ourselves, we very much enjoy creating quilts and other gifts for our children and grandchildren.
We have also expanded our creativity to include embroidered items, shell crafts using the beautiful shells we collect on the beaches of Florida and our popular potholders and catch-alls and tablerunners.
We are all RVers and enjoy traveling between Maine and Florida. Our phone numbers are our cellphones so we are always available to our customers. Cheryl also has a Verizon MIFI card so she has access to the internet almost anywhere!
We make quilts in all sizes from minis to king size bed quilts. If you don't see exactly what you are looking for contact us with color and size preferences.
