This isn't good-bye


 

This isn't good-bye

Y’all, it’s been an interesting year, and I’ve learned a lot, but it’s time for me to depart QA. I am going to be working on designing quilts and panto patterns, and you can keep up with me on Instagram @bonairquiltco. I’ll be posting periodic updates about my quilt and panto designs.

I know, I know, it’s a lot to process, but I have REALLY enjoyed working with the wonderful folks here at QA. I have learned so much about caring for our quilting community, how to manage employees, and how to run a business. It’s been a great learning experience! Ultimately, I chalk my departure up to one thing: I am an introvert. It was a hard decision to come to, but I am leaving you all in Julie’s capable hands.

Melissa and Julie both are Gammill trained longarmers and Melissa will be taking over the longarming work I've been doing. I’ve worked side-by-side with her over the past months, and she’s a smart cookie. She has been longarming for quite some years, so this is a natural transition for us to move her into this position. If you’ve had a quilt done recently at the shop, chances are, she did it! Julie is also slaying the quilt dragons as time allows. You have a power team working a power machine (I promise not to go into comedy or become a poet).

I AM planning to come back and darken the door at QA. As a sneak peek: I’m planning a bargello class later this year, and I’ll be spearheading the Gravity BOM early next year—you should totally sign up for that while we’re discussing the BOM! Your seat isn't secured until you pay the sign up fee. So you can’t get rid of me that easily!

I wish you all the best, I wish nothing but good things for QA, and I hope to see y’all on Insta!

All the best,

Heather
