Gifting Handmade Makers Showcase
Gifting Handmade Makers Showcase by Sharon Holland is full of inspiration and great projects you can make, give with love or keep for yourself.
Born in former Yugoslavia and now living in US, I am a cancer research scientist who loves to sew, quilt, design quilt patterns and teach others how to quilt. Drawing inspiration from my family (wife, mother of three amazing adults and grandma of five most gorgeous grand babies, dog and cat too), nature, creative community of makers and simple things in life! My dream is to inspire your creativity by sharing all of mine. That is why I created Mara Quilt designs - Patterns That Invite You to Play. Lets play and create beautiful quilts together.
