Stephanie is the owner of Hillside Stitches. She fell into quilting while pregnant and on bed rest. She tediously cut fabric squares with scissors while in bed, but once her baby was born, she quickly upgraded to a rotary cutter. Since then, she hasn't looked back. As she worked on her skills, she soon found herself self-drafting a pattern to achieve the scrappy pumpkin quilt of her dreams. After many requests for the pattern, Stephanie decided to write it up and sell it. So six-ish years ago, Hillside Stitches was born. Since then, she has written 38 patterns. Her latest pattern, Ex, came about as a forgotten project that would have been a gift for her son's swim teacher/life guard. After her kiddo spied the pattern on her computer and declared it needed to be made for his teacher this year, she finished it up and now we get to have it! Stephanie will be hosting a 4-week Sew-Along for the Ex pattern starting in early October, so head to her Instagram or her website to sign up! And while you're doing that, give the episode a listen!
