Since my Gammill is named Olivia, I have a fondness for all Olivia the Pig
items. If you haven't read the Olivia stories by Ian Falconer you're missing
a delight. My personal favorite is how she saved the circus.

In the picture above I am showing off my Olivia fabric purse
and the picture to the right shows the Olivia panel
that I made into a decoration for my studio wall.
My background has always included
some type of sewing.
I am a certified EGA Master Craftsman
in the Counted Thread Embroideries
and taught Hardanger and Drawn Thread classes
on the Regional level.
In 1997 I had a stitched ornament
on the Christmas Tree in the Blue Room
at the White House.

I started hand quilting when my daughters were just babies.
I bought my first Gammill in December 2001.
It's By Anna was established
in the summer of 2002.

My children are grown and married.
Just one of my daughters is a quilter,
the other family members gladly accept our quilted gifts.

Customer Comment from Becky
Thank you so much for the wonderful custom quilting job
you did on my Lone Star Eagle quilt. It is absolutely awesome.
I was so worried about the accuracy of my setting blocks, as you know,
but the accurate quilting just made it look wonderful.
I have had so many compliments on it in only the two days
it has been hanging. Thanks again.

Customer Comment from Susan
My quilt looks great! I love the pictures you emailed!!!
I am sure I will have more business for you
Now I may do some of the quilts I have in all those drawers,
but didn't want to hand quilt. Thanks again for the prompt service.
