About Us
Two years later, I discovered polymer clay and was so enthralled with it that I became a member of the National Polymer Clay Guild immediately. I started out sculpting character figures, gnomes, and fairies then learned a new technique called millifiori to make canes in patterns so I could make clothes for my "little people". By adding the use of a clay gun I could also put together designs for their clothing, and use the remnants to make jewelry.
My "baby" is now 15 years old, and both she and my husband help run the business as we keep getting busier and busier. Today, I specialize in jewelry based on traditional, recognizable quilt blocks, and after all these years, I’m never at a loss for patterns, projects, methods, color combinations or inspiration when working with polymer clay.

Quilted in Clay is a small family business
that grew from my lifetime interest in
the world of art. Over many years, I had
explored a number of mediums, but in 1991
as a stay-at-home mom I began sewing soft
sculpture dolls and painted woodcrafts
and selling them at local craft shows. 
As
it turned out, my designs resembled
quilt blocks, and customers began asking
for specific jewelry designs such as
the Ohio Star, Log Cabin, and more. It
was
a challenge replicating quilt block designs,
but I also watched the business escalate
as a result of my efforts. In 1996, I
decided to expand from craft shows to
quilt shows,
and the rest is history! Oftentimes,
we are literally selling our creations "hot out of the oven".
