About Me

I love the process of creation, from color to quilting, seeing inspiration come to life! I am truly inspired by those that take the chance to put their designs and visions out there for others to enjoy. I am passionate about making sure a designers vision is realized and am quite honored when trusted with those visions to bring them to life.

First time we tried this layout! I love the island booth for ease in traffic flow!
LA Textile Show |  Best in Show S/S16
Mandalas, paisleys, and beautiful natural color blocked prints on gorgeous cotton.  There were even beautiful quilted pieces. This is so on trend with the ideas of ritual, of craftsmanship and DIY, as well as a nod to the 1970’s.  Right on target. -Janna Stark, Promostyl
