Guest Quilter Kathy Cardiff
The Cottage at Cardiff Farms
Kathy Cardiff has been creating and designing for as long as she can remember. She has always had a love for art and drawing, carrying sketchpads with her wherever she goes. Her mother, a talented seamstress, taught her to sew at a young age but it wasn’t until Kathy’s children were in high school that she combined her love for designing and sewing. Now, she turns her beautiful sketches into cozy textile designs for the home. She draws most of her design inspiration from nature and gardening. In fact, if she is not sketching or sewing something, you will most likely find her out digging in the dirt in her beloved garden.
