My name is Tammie Bowser and sewing for me is just natural. I have been sewing since I was 4 years old. I remember making my first outfit and wearing it to my pre-school graduation! It was a purple velvet mini skirt with a matching vest!
I started out sewing clothing, and chose a career in the fashion industry 
after graduating from “The Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising” in 1985.
I wanted to stay home with my baby so I ended my 18 year career in Los Angeles. I then prayed for an idea that could lead me to a new career. Shortly after that, I woke up with the exciting idea for Quilted Photography! My idea was to use very ordinary cotton print fabrics to make extrodinary photographic photos and portraits.
In less than a week I excitedly made my first Quilted Photograph…and the sight of it even excited me more! When the first quilt was done, I hung it on a wall and walked away. When I turned around and looked, the quilt of my daughter was just like a photograph, complete with shadows, highlights and details! I ran out of my sewing studio to show the first neighbor that I could find….and it amazed my neighbors too….. they think that I am a genius!
I beleive that this gift is not just for me to keep for myself. It was given to me so that I could share it with others. On this site you will products and classes so you can make your own amazing quilts. You can also commission me to create a work of art for you.
Look in the shopping area of this site to find out about the software for making patterns from your own photos! I am also available to teach classes, and if you are interested in hiring me for a workshop send an email to the Help Desk requesting my teaching information.
