Jana Blanchette

I learned to sew at a young age but it wasn't until I graduated from college that my love for quilting developed. I got my first tax return and bought a sewing machine and signed up for quilting lessons - over 25 years later I'm still sewing. Once I "retired" from my pharmaceutical career to stay home with my three children I found that sewing and particularly quilting provided me with a creative outlet that I could work around my "mom" duties. About 9 years ago, I was approached to make a t-shirt quilt. It was my first commissioned quilt and I have been doing it ever since. I have made quilts out of all sorts of clothing. I work closely with my customers throughout the design process to create beautiful keepsakes that give treasured memories new life.
