Custom Quilt Art : :

Today I'm so very excited to share with you a new offering from one of my favorite companies, Artifact Uprising, a company that truly cares about how much our type of work matters! Their mission is to breathe creativity, passion and community back into our stories and their products are as beautiful as their mission. At Artifact Uprising you'll find photobooks, postcards, calendars, prints, and beginning today, they've added beautiful custom framing to the list!



Whether you're photographing quilts to sell, or to share on your blog, Instagram, or Facebook, I always recommended taking the extra time to take a great photograph. Consider just the number of hours you've spent selecting the fabrics, deciding on a pattern, assembling each piece and then finishing it, don’t you agree that all your hard work and your gorgeous quilt deserves to be seen in the best way possible? For me, that means venturing outdoors to my favorite spots in Potter County. The untouched beauty of this part of Pennsylvania makes the mot spectacular backdrop! For others, that might mean finding the room with the best natural lighting right at home. Either way, it's about honoring your work with a thoughtful photograph.



When Artifact Uprising reached out offering to print and frame one of my quilt photos, I couldn't pass it up! It arrived just the other day ready to hang, and I love it so much! Like their other products, the quality is stunning and immediately has become such an amazing treasure!



Whether you decide to treat yourself or just keep these personalized wall art options in mind for gift-giving, I just had to share this beautiful idea. I have a feeling this first framed photo of ours is the beginning of a new collection!

An Artifact Uprising Photobook { and GIVEAWAY! } : :

I still feel so very new to Instagram and often like a rookie when it comes to quilting. It's been just a little more than two & a half years since I finished my very first quilt and I truly feel that I didn't really "get it" until just this last year. Still, I'm sure it's clear, I love them both -- making quilts and the sharing that comes after! Having such special ways to document and show who I am, what I love, and how I learn & grow as an artist is so incredible! This journey has been a dream come true in countless ways and is constantly being made more amazing. From each new beautiful fabric collection to come out that I just have to sew with, to the new friends I've made from all over the globe, to the extraordinary opportunities that have come my way!





Today I'm so very excited to share with you, perhaps for the first time, a company that truly cares about how much our type of work matters, Artifact Uprising. Their mission is to breathe creativity, passion and community back into our stories and their products are as beautiful as their mission! At Artifact Uprising you'll find photobooks, postcards, calendars, and prints all printed on 100% post-consumer waste recycled paper and all of their wooden products are made from fallen waste wood.

In their words..
