| Meet Joan Hawley
Let me introduce myself, I'm Joan Hawley, owner and creator
of the Lazy Girl Designs (LGD) company.
I began sewing at a young age and focused on making my own
clothes and home dec furnishings. A friend introduced me
to the world of quilting years later and took me to my first
quilt shop. I didn't know shops dedicated to quilting even
existed until then!
Celebrating 10 Years of Lazy!
I started Lazy Girl in 1997 in response to the
customer comments I heard while working at that quilt shop. I began by designing
projects specifically requested by customers.
However, I soon turned my attention to creating projects that
suited my own sensibilities. Lazy Girl Designs evolved out
of those early endeavors.
As for my concentration on purses and bags...what can I say?
Have you ever found the perfect purse? Does a single
perfect purse exist, or is perfection achieved through a
collection of purses that when combined, meet all of our needs?
I don't know. I guess since I'm still designing them for
myself, my collection is incomplete. Or my definition of
perfection changes over time. I have discovered that there
is a little 'Lazy' in most of us. I have fun with my
designs and I hope you do, too.
 LGD products can be found
at thousands of local quilt shops across the country
and around the world. Ask your local store to
see what's new! If you haven't been to
your local quilt shop lately, or don't know where one is, open
the yellow pages to 'fabric' or 'quilt' and go exploring.
I've shared my lighthearted
approach and easy techniques on 15 episodes of
Kaye's Quilting
Friends with Kaye Wood, four episodes of
Quilter's ToolBox, and three episodes of
America Quilts Creatively,
with Sue Hausmann. |
