TiLT creations

   I have loved art ever since my first Crayola. Drawing and painting were my primary mediums until my college years. I did study art history and still created during college, but as things got busier art fell off to the side. Canvas will always remain a dream & passion, but creating with fabric has been absolutely wonderful...beyond my expectations. Someday I hope to combine the two.

Ten years ago my oldest son wanted to be Robin Hood for Halloween, but I could not find a costume for him. I decided to make one myself. I bought the pattern & fabric and just went for it. I loved every minute of it. Costumes were pretty much all I did for the next few years, and then I tried my own clothes. It was fun, but not as rewarding. The winter holiday season came around one year and I decided to make gifts for family members...snowman and Santa heads, stuffed animals and baby accessories topped my entertainment center throughout December. Once the season ended, I just had to keep going.

I started making bags from purchased patterns and books. It was not long before I felt I had to expand and recreate designs I saw in magazines or those being used by people around me. These creations were my first source of handbag inspiration and a wonderful learning tool. Soon my family and friends started getting purses and totes as gifts. They gushed and told me I should sell them. I felt I wasn't quite at that point just yet. But then Grandma told me her friends were interested and since there is no arguing with a wise 95 year old...I started creating my own designs to sell. 

I am still in the early business stages. I recently came up with a name and logo for my business. I keep creating my own designs and patterns. Construction has been done on some while others are still in the drafting stage. I have quite a few bags ready for purchase. They are no two exactly alike in their color and print schemes. The bags I made from patterns are also available (on the Limited page).

My goal is to be up and running by the fall...or earlier. All finished products can be seen on this site. If you do see anything you like, feel free to use the Contact Us page. And please, feel free to sign the Guestbook & leave a comment or two.
