A little about Us
Having my own business has always been my dream. You know, to be able to do what you like to support yourself. To be able to create something the no one else can and have it be useful and beautiful at the same time. My name is Jan of course and I became interested in quilting about 42 years ago. But just did it for relaxation and a hobby. Now I am retired and use my quilting to keep me busy and supplement my income. I started Quilts by Jan a while back when I was still working and am working on increasing my customers and my sales. I hope you enjoy my web site and feel free to email me if you have questions.
I have found a new aspect to quilting. I make prayer quilts for the shut-ins and sick. These quilts are machine pieces and hand tied, and are usually signed by all the people in the church. Then given to the person to speed their recovery. They are much more useful than just a prayer cloth and will be an heirloom for the receiver too. A couch size runs only $75. and is more lasting than flowers or small gifts. These are one of my favorites to make cause I know the joy they bring.
Graduation quilts are another of my signature quilts. I have a few different styles to choose from and each one would be in the school colors of recipient. Most ask for the school logo or mascot in the corner, and some have the persons picture in the opposite corners. I have made two originals with the heart in the middle and pictures through the entire quilt. No one would ever have one just like yours, because their pictures would be of them.
I have done a couple memory quilts with birth to death pictures on them also. These take time but are well worth it. I was commissioned to do a quilt for a lady with Alzheimer's. They brought pictures of the times she remembered and I put them in squares all through the quilt. They use it to refresh her memory of the good times and possible bring back more. |
