Hi! I'm Tracey Harty. I've had an interest in quilting for a couple decades but hadn't sewn much until the last few years...and am now obsessed. I really love the process of getting excited about a pattern, selecting beautiful fabrics, accurately cutting them, then piecing the quilt into a work of art. I find the need for precision an interesting challenge. I learn so much every time! Last Christmas, I decided to try my hand at making a lined tote bag and found out how fun that is! It's great to create a usable piece in a short time frame, and now I've found there are all kinds of great fabrics for bags and backpacks, opening another door into hand-making items that are traditionally mass-produced. It's a joy to say, "Yes, I made this!" I have two smart and beautiful 20-something daughters and a fabulous, supportive husband; we live in Salt Lake City next to the Wasatch Hollow Nature Preserve, where Emigration Creek runs through our backyard. I'm so pleased to introduce Creekside Quilt Studio. If you're local, I plan to have classes for kids and adults when the pandemic is over.
