Welcome to Sheltered Stitches.. some day I’d like to use the web site for a very worthy cause I have running around in the back of my mind.. but not right this instant.. in the meantime, it will be used to to showcase my latest sewing projects.. quilting small projects and big…
I've been sewing since the late 1960's when mom sent me to Singer Sewing School. I started to sew in earnest again in 2011 when we got Jackson the Pomo-Poo who LOVES to get dressed. The quilting obsession started Nov of 2013 and I took 3 ribbons - 4th, 1st and Best of Show for my projects entered into the local county fair in 2015.
Our Philosophy
Well, it's pretty simple.. our dog is stinkin' cute, he loves to get attention, and loves to get dressed! Our job as a responsible pet owner is to supply an endless array of scarfs for Jackson to wear around the house and out in public, even under his Halloween costume! Our other joy is to make quilts.. big or little, wall hangings, mug rugs.. tree skirts & place mats.. I've got more idea than fabric - and I HAVE fabric - and can't wait to create every last one of them. You'll find me in front of the TV on one of the 3 antique Singer's or my new fangled sewing machine OR at the computer planning the next project!
Our Passion
It's more of addiction now than a passion! Heading to the fabric stores and looking for fabrics that would make great quilts and pet scarfs! I've turned into somewhat of a material hoarder :)
Like what we make? We would love for you to have one of our creations in your home, to be given as a gift or on your pet! We just opened a brand new Etsy store and will be filling it with product.. both ready-made and ready-to-ship and items we will custom sew to your desires – that includes sizes and fabric choices!
