Big news at Jelly Bean Quilts today – we’re growing!
So without further ado, meet Lisa Ruvolo. She’s my new assistant, my sister, and most importantly the mom of two adorable little munchkins.
But Lisa didn’t score the job just because she’s family. She has been sewing for 12 years, and even has a Bachelor’s Degree from Iowa State University in Apparel Merchandising, Design, and Production to prove it. (What can I say… apparently our mom’s insistence on creating our Halloween costumes from scratch rubbed off on both of us, even though store-bought costumes seemed oh-so-cool at the time!) In fact, Lisa actually was the first in our family to make a t-shirt quilt! (Check out a pic below the interview!)
Here’s a little Q & A to help you get to know the newest member of my team.
