Hi! I’m Michelle. I have been a maker and creator for as long as I can remember. Inspired and taught by my mom, I learned to knit, crochet and sew at an early age. My mom was always sewing and I grew up in the heart of southern Ontario Mennonite country, so quilts were everywhere. I started by hand quilting whole cloth quilts and eventually moved to machine piecing and quilting.

Today, quilting is my passion, creative outlet and stress management strategy. My husband, Jason, is my partner in life, but also an expert in spray basting and providing a second opinion on colour choice and border fabrics. I love the play of colour, design and texture in quilts. Scrap quilts, with their variety of colour and fabrics, are my favourite and the inspiration for bits & pieces quilting.

I invite you to take a look around, subscribe to my YouTube channel and send me your thoughts and ideas for additional content. I’ve been thinking about and planning bits & pieces quilting for more than three years, so you will find a mix of content and video clips as I get started and learn more about creating and editing videos and building a web sites. Bear with me!

Thanks for visiting and remember to make the most of your fabric bits and pieces. Happy Quilting!
