Hi there! 

​​​​

I'm Julia, the person behind this biz.  

​I was once a professor of French literature--a very serious academic--but not

anymore!

Now I make quilts and publish original children's books, to help

make the world just a little bit better.

​

​Living in my hometown Seattle again, I've created this business--and related

literary activities in the city--to share the good feelings!
