Pam Buda
shares her enthusiasm for traditional quilts and quilt fabrics. Her
prairie style fabrics are rooted in her love of early American history and
nineteenth century living. Both resonate with quilters through her
patterns and projects. Motivated by her Midwestern roots, and a lifelong
interest in fabrics and sewing, Pam finds inspiration in the lives of early
prairie women, and the important role quilting & sewing played in their
lives.
"If it is true what they say --'Do something you love and you'll never
work a day in your life' --then I go to play, not work. Second only to my
husband and kids, quilting and working with fabric is my
passion.
I learned to sew in high school home economics class, had a break from
sewing in my 20's, and returned to sewing in my 30's. Sewing dolls was my first
love, and I made hundreds of dolls over the years, selling them at craft shows.
In the early 1990's, I patterned my original doll designs under the name Sew
Happy Patterns, attending Quilt Market where I sold them to quilt shops all
over the US and Canada. I began teaching doll making then as
well.
Then, around 1997 I learned to quilt, and have never made another doll
since! I began to teach quilting in 1999, which led to the start of my
published quilt designcompany, Heartspun Quilts, in 2004. Over the years, I
have had many wonderful opportunities to meet quilters and teach classes. I
love to teach, and look forward to doing so for many years to
come."
