With over 30 years of sewing experience, I turned my passion into a business in 2025 by founding TJ’s Needleworks LLC.

What began as a creative hobby has grown into a full-service quilting and embroidery studio. I specialize in custom quilts, memory bears, pillows, and embroidery art, personally operating both longarm and embroidery machines to craft heartfelt, handmade pieces.

My quilting techniques include free motion, ruler work, laser-guided quilting, and pantographs. I especially love transforming loved ones' clothing into huggable keepsakes. I also offer custom embroidery, turning photos and love notes into stitched portraits and heirlooms. Beyond the studio, I hold degrees in Business, Zoology, and Criminal Justice, and I’m currently pursuing my PhD. When I’m not sewing, I’m likely with my playful granddaughter.
