Janet Nesbitt

Hi! I'm Janet Nesbitt, owner of ONE S1STER LLC, a web-based quilt design company and wholesale distributor. For the past 18 years, I've owned and operated Buggy Barn Quilts in Reardon, WA, as well as designed Buggy Barn's popular line of quilting patterns and Henry Glass & Co. fabric collections (Buggy Barn books and patterns are still available for purchase, while supplies last).

I've always been an abid scrap quilter with a passion for mixing prints and plaids that incorporate a unique sense of color. As I head into a new phase in my career, I look forward to focusing more of my time on creating fun and whimsical designs through my popular "crazy" piecing technique (stacking fabric, cutting on the lines, shuffling and stitching it all together). This trademark piecing method is easy and forgiving, ensuring quilting success for stitchers of all levels.

She made a fun and colorful quilt for our blog hop.


Daisy Ashehoug

Daisy Aschehoug has a hard time resisting pretty fabrics or a good sticky bun, and indulges in both as often as she can. In 2013, she started her blog, Ants to Sugar,  to document her quilting, and has since expanded her passion to include other fiber arts like embroidery.  Having recently relocated to Baton Rouge, Lousiana, Daisy is trading sticky buns for beignets but will keep on quilting and sewing.

Recently chosen as one of the Top Ten Quilt Shops in the country for 2004 by American Patchwork and Quilting Magazine, the store attracts many visitors. Little Quilts fabrics and publications are featured on their popular website for shoppers to enjoy.


Mary Jane Carey

Mary Jane started sewing at a very young age and made much of her own clothing. She loved to work with fabric, colors and design. In 1993, Mary Jane opened The Christmas Shoppe as a means to sell her handcrafted,one-of-a-kind Santas. By 1997, Mary Jane switchedher focus to quilting. This led Mary Jane to a life on the road selling fabrics at quilt shows. In 2008, the Holly Hill Quilt Designs Pattern Company was formed and today Mary Jane designs fabric for Henry Glass & Co.
