Welcome to our home workplace where we do longarm quilting, embroidery, teaching, and sell items online.
I am a professional longarm quilter doing edge-to-edge longarm quilting and custom quilting (both computerized and free motion / ruler work). I purchased my first machine from Angela Walters (the Midnight Quilter) and have been a fan and a friend ever since, always grateful for the good start with her training and business advice. About three years into my business, I added machine embroidery. I have an education degree (I used to teach English) and I missed lesson planning and teaching, so I get excited when I get to offer classes about quilting. Check out my YouTube channel:
My artist and marketing husband, Jim, came on board full-time in December 2021. He added more embroidered items like hats, duffel bags, backpacks, makeup bags, dishtowels, go towels, and bath sheets. He does a lot of business-to-business work. Additionally, we added a sublimation printer, DTF capabilities, a large heat press, and Stahl’s Hotronix 360 IQ Hat Press. Jim offers these products under the name, Cosmo Hats and Shirts.
