I am Melissa, a quilter and crafter
who truly loves to create time worn treasures. I am always on the lookout for
anything rusty, dusty and old; if it speaks to me it comes home with me. How do
you think I found my husband of 32 years? I’m just kidding, he is the love of
my life and my best friend who is willing to trek through antique shops, garage
sales and oh my gosh, let us not forget the WORLDS LONGEST YARD SALE that runs
right through our little town!! And people ask what brought you to TN, should I
fess up? Nah… I just say retirement.
(But I am not retired!!)
Just a little about myself.
I started Sew Southern Quilts a few years ago as a small “on-line"
business on ETSY and have been unbelievably blessed with the success of my
business. I wanted to share with others the love I have for quilts, primitive needfuls
and homemade things. The feel and look of quilts and quilted items remind me of
simpler times and days gone by; they are reminiscence of home and family. My
hope is you will find that special something to add to your home or share with
your family and friends. I am open 24 hours a day so stop in and take a look
around. http://www.etsy.com/shop/Sewsouthernquilts
In addition to Sew
Southern Quilts, I have expanded my business with Joanna Walker at Mountain
Laurel Crafts in Loretta’s Sewin Room. Together we have a beautiful assortment
of dolls, table runners, wall hangings, Christmas ornaments, ornies, purses and
wallets. Stop in and see for yourself.
Joanna Walker has been teaching in the area for a number of years and is an
avid quilter, crafter and beautiful artist. If you have an opportunity to take
one of her classes, do so. You will be so pleased.
Since moving to Tennessee
I have been so blessed to have friends who are like minded and together we enjoy
each other’s company, share tips and tricks of quilting. We are very much like
a family, ever growing and learning about one another. Loretta Vaughn of
Loretta’s Sewin’ Room has provided us a home for this sharing of our craft
through classes, helpful tips and sewing’ room to hang out; her love of
quilting and generous spirit of time, talent and space give us a place to meet
and enjoy each other’s company.
Thanks for stopping by
and I hope you come visit us. We truly appreciate your support of our craft and
look forward to meeting you soon.
