hi!
My name is Julie Herman & I live in the San Diego area.
I started sewing in 2002 & started blogging in May of 2009. The goal when I started my blog was to share my quilts & have a journal of them. I'm a girl who loves fabric and loves to design & sew quilts!
Since starting my blog I've been published in many magazines and I started my own pattern company. I also have done many free online tutorials. I contribute over at the Swatch & Stitch with my column called A Little Birdie Told me. In addition I've also contributed to the Moda Bake Shop and was featured in Fresh Fabric Treats which was published by Stash Books in May 2011.
Why Jaybird you ask? Childhood nickname given to me by my brother. You might notice that most of my older posts as well as many of my casual posts lack the use of capital letters and proper grammar. I have a personal dislike of capital letters but I know they help readability so I'm working on it!
There are lots of ways to contact me. I have an online shop that has my patterns, some of the magazines I've been published in as well as some assorted fabric for sale.
