Meet Jenn, Our Creative Founder
Jenn's journey into the world of sewing is a heartwarming tale of family tradition and a serendipitous twist of fate. From her early days under the guidance of her mother and grandmother, who passed down the art of sewing, to her eventual venture into entrepreneurship, Jenn's story is one of passion and dedication.
Sewing first became a part of Jenn's life when she was just 13 years old, learning the craft from the two most important women in her life. However, her sewing adventures took a temporary backseat until a pivotal moment when her boss invited her to explore new sewing machines. Little did she know, this outing would reignite her love for sewing, leading her to purchase a sewing machine of her own.
In 2003, with the arrival of her first child, Jenn's sewing journey entered a new phase. She began crafting beautiful quilts as gifts for her friends who were welcoming babies into their lives. Her friends were so impressed by her work that they encouraged her to turn her hobby into a business.
And so, JL Bug Designs was born. Jenn's entrepreneurial spirit led her to create "mommy and me" quilts, designed to bring joy to both little ones and their cherished baby dolls. The warmth and creativity she poured into each quilt quickly gained attention.
But it was a chance connection through a friend of a friend that truly set her on the path to becoming a sought-after artisan. At the request of someone seeking a T-shirt quilt, Jenn eagerly accepted the challenge. She received a collection of cherished clothes, and with her skilled hands and a heart full of passion, she crafted her very first T-shirt quilt.
From that moment on, Jenn's reputation as a talented quilt maker grew, and her business flourished. Her dedication to preserving memories in the form of beautifully crafted quilts has touched the lives of many.
Today, Jenn continues to bring her love for sewing and design to every creation, ensuring that each piece carries not only the fabric but also the heart and soul of its maker. With a keen eye for detail and a passion for her craft, Jenn invites you to explore the world of quilts through JL Bug Designs.
