Meet Ashley Hough

Ashley has sewn for years. Her mother taught her at a very young age. When first starting out, she stuck to mastering commercial patterns before venturing into creating her own. Her patterns have been featured in Sew News, Sew It All, and she has even been on Sew It All TV.

Quilting is somewhat new to Ashley, but she dove in head first – coming up with an original design for her first quilt that included curved seams and hand applique! She was even lucky enough to have it featured in one of the Quilty’s “This is My Quilt” episodes.

Ashley loves all things crafty, from sewing to knitting, crochet to quilting, and everything in between. When she isn’t working on a new project or learning a different technique she loves teaching her passion to others.

    I am already a member of the National Sewing Guild – I was planning on making the Orange Slice Coasters anyway so might as well participate in the other projects as well. Sounds like fun.

    I am excited to do this, hoping it will inspire me to return to sewing. I have not been sewing for several years and it used to be a passion of mine. Would love to get back the love of it.

    I am so excited about this challenge! Been in a very sad place since my sweetie passed away a year ago and this is just what I need to get me out of that place and back into the hobby that I love. Thank you for doing this for us. :)
