Hey there! I'm Tacy

I believe that making beautiful and useful things is good for our mental health, relationships, and the environment.

Being surrounded by well-made handmade things adds meaning to our lives and helps us feel grounded in our humanity.

I especially love quilted things.

From learning to sew when I was eight, to taking a hand piecing and hand quilting class in middle school, to owning a quilt shop with my mother-in-law in my twenties, quilting has been a driving passion for me.

I believe that quilting is for everyone, and that rules are only suggestions.

I believe there's more than one way to do everything, and I love learning new tricks that make quilting easier or more fun. And then sharing those tricks.

Today I write quilt patterns that give quilters of every skill a stress-free way to make beautiful quilts.

I love teaching and sharing my passion with other creative and crafty people. And as a long arm quilter of 15+ years, I expertly help people finish their quilts.

A Little More About Me

My son learned to walk at the quilt shop I owned with my mother-in-law, first by following me around as I straightened, and later by finding stacks of fat quarters to pull off shelves.  

This same son, ten years later, helped my make his memory quilt.

All my friends, at my quilting studio in Southwest Minneapolis.

Before setting up in Minnesota in 2025, my husband, two sons and two dogs lived in Southern California, where I had this beautiful studio.

I love my house plants and treat them as members of the family.
