Hey Y’all, I’m Joy!
I’m a Southern girl, living the quilting, crafting, creative life with my husband and dogs in the “sort of” country.
Quilting & Sewing
Quilting and sewing are crafts to be shared. They can warm your heart, soul and body in the giving, making and receiving. What could be better? Here are some tutorials, tips and ideas that I hope will inspire, help and bring you joy.
Joy’s Studio News
Coming to my studio in about a month, and I’m so excited … is a Bernina Q24 Longarm with Qmatic on the 13′ Large Pro Frame. I’m looking so forward to sharing my studio progress with you, along with offering Longarm quilting!
If you are new to Longarm quilting, this is the Bernina Q24 Longarm. If you’re new to Joy’s Life, this is me!
Also, hilariously … that picture of the quilt block floor … is my studio bathroom. We spent the last year building our new home in the “almost country” and a studio for the Longarm. I’m so happy to see it all come together! Now, I can get back to creating and sharing again!
