Today we are excited to be featured on Riley Blake Designs first Post Quilt Market Blog Tour! Each day they will be featuring one of the designers who showcased at the Houston Quilt Market.
As a young girl I dreamt of being an illustrator for Disney movies; I would draw and draw, filling up sketchbooks and constantly looking for projects. And now here I am, years later, living my dream as a creative entrepreneur, owner of Bella Blvd LLC, and the graphic designer behind “everything Bella Blvd” with an eye for detail and an eccentric love for color.
You can find me each and every day inside my turquoise studio office at Bella Blvd’s headquarters in Wauwatosa, Wisconsin. Bella Blvd is my baby, a company I started more than six years ago, and a place where I am free to express my passion for drawing, scrapbooking and design.
Recently I married my beau of seven years; We became proud parents to a baby boy, Hunter, in September and are learning together the roles of mommy, daddy, business owner and crafter! My favorite part of designing products for crafters is the timeless nature of my work; Forty years from now I might find myself at a neighbor’s Tupperware party when I spot a beautiful quilt or family scrapbook featuring a piece of my work. My fulfillment comes from helping others document priceless memories and life stories. In my spare time I enjoy running, trying new recipes, traveling, decorating, playing with my puppy, cheering on the Green Bay Packers and photography.
When Riley Blake requested the Snapshots! paper collection as the newest fabric line, I was ecstatic because I knew it would be perfect for day-to-day life pieces like camera straps, camera bags, pajamas, family quilts and more! After all, the collection was inspired by our fascination with Instagram and our cravings to capture 365 days of year. The collection is full of my own hand-drawn collection of houses, cameras, flowers, arrows and more.
