About Us
Sue
I have been quilting since 1995. In 2002, I discovered home quilting frames, and then, computer-assisted quilting. With 20+ years of experience in information technology and computer graphic arts, it was a match made in heaven!
In 2006, I invested in an A-1 long arm machine equipped with a computer-guided system, and switched to IntelliQuilter in 2015. I enjoy the challenge of planning the best possible quilting treatment for every top, whether it's an edge to edge design or a more elaborate custom treatment. No two quilts ever look the same! Using IntelliQuilter lets me multi-task and use my time more effectively, resulting in accurate work with consistently high quality.
More recently, I've returned to my graphic design roots, offering digital printing to cotton fabric, and dye sublimation work to polyester fabric and to items other than fabric. It's a whole new ball game but it's a LOT of fun!
Macie
I'm a Kerry Blue Terrier who joined the family in June 2017 (and I am the great-great-great-granddaughter of Dr. Mac, who crossed the rainbow bridge in 2014). I am still a bit silly at times but I love to meet new people!
Sally
I'm Sally, aka Blue Yonder's Don't Call Me Shirley. I am Macie's daughter, and was the first puppy born in our litter (on Easter Sunday 2019). I am following in my mama Macie's footsteps as a show dog. This is my official "baby photo" as it was taken when I was five weeks old. I am now taller than my mama, but she is still the boss!
In Memory of Hugh Bower (10/31/1948 - 08/05/2021)
Hugh was an electrical engineer who spent 30+ years as an Air Force and commercial pilot. He enjoyed multi-needle machine embroidery, and specialized in embroidered golf towels, golf shirts, and baseball caps.
He assisted with mechanical and technical tasks since Day One. He also helped with loading wide backing fabrics, adjusted machine timing, helped inspect finished quilts before removal from the frame, and proofread from time to time.
