I am sew excited to announce that I am a scholarship recipient of a scholarship to Alderwood Studio's Pattern Writing Academy.
Around two years ago, when I was searching for a pattern to make a quilt for a friend's baby, I was looking specifically for pattern designers who are people of color and realized that there weren't many to pick from. This is why I am so excited to be part of the Pattern Writing Academy: I want to help expand the quilting community by representing the value and talent of people of color, showing that we make beautiful quilts, too! I want to learn how to create patterns that are accessible to people of any background while also being representative of my culture.
