Hi there!
I'm Julia, the person behind this biz.
​I was once a professor of French literature--
but not anymore!
Now I make quilts , bags, and publish original children's books,
to help
make the world just a little bit better.
(I still write occasionally too--a good habit in trying times.)
​​​​
​Living in my hometown Seattle again, I've created this business--
and I'm leading
some pro bono literary activities in the city--
to share the good feelings.
