Jason has finished sewing several quilts for me (maybe 10?) this past year. I ask him to choose thread colours and quilting designs for me – and they are always perfect. He has an eye for what works for each quilt top – and sometimes suggests that double batting would look nice – and he is correct! His instincts and experience are always spot on. Also, the quality of quilting and finishing is excellent. I have always been thrilled with his results.
I’m fortunate to live close enough to Jason’s studio so I can drive to drop off and pick up quilts or purchases from his online store. The location and setting are jaw-droppingly beautiful! It’s peaceful and spacious – a real treat to visit. Jason’s studio is bright and colourful, surrounded with many of his amazing creations.
I look forward to post-Covid times, and hope to be able to take a class from him in the future.
Jason always has time for a visit and he shares what he is working on and his visions of future projects. Not only that, but he genuinely is interested in and asks questions of what I’m working on. I’ve shared projects I’ve experimented with that didn’t work out, and he is never critical. I enjoy talking about sewing with him. He likes what he is doing, and his enthusiasm for quilting and the industry shows.
I have, on a couple of occasions, seen fabric collections or quilt patterns that will be released in the future, and I have asked Jason if he would be able to order them. He has been on top of it already, or quite willing to look into it.
I recently completed one of Jason’s patterns – the winter, polar bear quilt. I believe Jason has a talent and style that is unique and will be recognizable in the future. I think fabric designers will be fortunate to have him create projects for them in their fabrics. I look forward to seeing what Jason creates in the future – and I’m so grateful that he has finished my quilts for me.
