Welcome!

Hello!  Welcome to my blog! 

My name is Deanna.  I'm a mommy to two little boys (4 years old and 2 years old), a wife to a great husband, and owner of La Petite Fabric Shop on Etsy. 

I made my very first quilt back in 1997 when I was about 13 years old.  I joined the quilting group as part of my 4-H club.  It was one of those blankets that folds up into a pillow.  It actually only has one quilt block on the whole thing.  We still have it at home and my boys like to curl up with it.  Who knew something I made at 13 would be used by my children. 


After that I made a log cabin quilt with stars and moons (remember in the 90's when stars and moons were super popular??)   My little sister somehow snagged that quilt years and years ago....I wonder if she still has it.....It's possible that it is a pile of rags now...I wasn't great with sewing in a straight line. lol 

I've quilted on and off since then.  Honestly sometimes more off than on.  Life gets busy.  And aside from the few lessons I had during 4-H that one year I'm entirely self taught.

I opened my Etsy Fabric Shop in November 2014 and I have been loving it.  It's still a very small shop but something I've been putting a lot of effort into growing.  I feel like I work on it almost all the time.  Even if I'm not physically doing something for the shop I'm usually always thinking about it.

I will probably end up writing about it here and there if people end up being interested.  I feel like there is a ton that goes on behind the scene of Etsy Shops.

Thank you for visiting my blog.  I am excited to see where it goes and hope to make this a fun and happy place for people to "hang out". 

I love comments so feel free to leave some :D

Thank you again for visiting!
