Good day, fellow crafter!

​

I'm Nix, your colour-curating quilt friend.

​

Made by You Quilt Shop has been a dream of mine for years.I started sewing with my grandmother's stash as a young child, dabbling in garment construction before finding my footing in quilting. I loved learning colour theory in painting classes and found my calling in quilting. I had the luxury of working at a local quilt shop for a few years before branching out on my own. I was able to watch and learn- and figure out my own creative vision. 

 

I am drawn to Classic and Bold quilts - mixing my love for traditional patterns with a modern twist.

 

Working in the LQS, I learned a lot of creatives get stumped when selecting their fabrics. Many of us are our worst critics- claiming we can't pick colours, our fabrics clash or we keep using the same pairings again and again. While I believe most quilters are wrong and underestimating themselves, I know sometimes we just need a win and sometimes we just want to start sewing! This is why I focus on curating bundles and quilt kits. I want to help you get to the part you find most enjoyable!  

As my confidence grew (from trial and lots of errors), I decided I wanted to help inspire and teach other people about sewing and quilt making. I branched out into writing my own patterns to go along with my favourite collections. My intention is to deliver clear, thorough and fun patterns and tutorials. I want to encourage anyone to join the stitchy club, dive in and make something!  

​

If you have a specific idea you want help bringing to life, shoot me an email and I will help as much as I can!

​

Right now, I am running the shop on my own (with the occasional helping hand from my lovely mum!). I am shipping out of Coburg, Ontario.
