QOF Episode 211 - Sharon Holland

My guest today is Sharon Holland. A mother of 3 with a B.A. in Art & Design. Sharon’s story goes from handcrafting dolls and seasonal crafts to a stint in magazine publishing and fabric design first for Paintbrush Studios and then now Art Gallery Fabrics. Starting as a library-book-taught quilter when rotary cutters were revolutionary new tools, she's evolved into a sought-after designer with a signature "modern-traditional" style. Her journey proves that formal training combined with hands-on passion creates something extraordinary—fabric designs and quilts that bridge heritage techniques with contemporary aesthetics, the perfect mix. She is a quilt pattern designer with hundreds of PDF patterns available, and she wrote the book Utility-style quilts for everyday living!You can find Sharon's website here: https://www.sharonhollanddesigns.com/Want to travel with Brandy?
