Lazy Girl Designs + Jaybird Quilts Announcement

 

Joan Hawley of Lazy Girl Designs with Julie Herman of Jaybird Quilts 
at International Quilt Market October 2015
 

Lazy Girl Designs is all about finding the easiest way to successful fabric crafting. Anchored in the quilt industry while flirting with the sewing junkies, Lazies make their own rules, and buck convention where possible.

As the ‘Original Lazy Girl’, Joan Hawley always found the easy and fun way to a successful project. A self-described geek and armchair engineer, Joan loved creating new twists and techniques for sewing and quilting.

Julie Herman of Jaybird Quilts has a superpower for geometry & design. She’s energized by the beauty of math in modernizing traditional quilt designs.

For over 14 years, Jaybird Quilts has been recognized in the quilting community for bringing simplified design and clarity to geometrically inspired patterns. 

Julie and Joan bonded over the years through their mutual joy of sewing & crafting. In honor of Joan’s memory & their shared love of sewing crafts, Julie is humbled to announce the acquisition of the Lazy Girl Designs brand & product line. 

 

As the Jaybird Quilts team, we’re deeply grateful for all of the light and wisdom Joan graciously shared with us.  We were lucky to know her and call her a friend and mentor and we can’t think of a better way to celebrate Joan than to continue on with the same excitement she brought into our lives.  Our aim is to honor her brand and legacy by serving as stewards to the Lazy Girl Designs brand she lovingly crafted for over 25 years.

The Jaybird Quilts team will manage the availability of Lazy Girl Designs products beginning Monday, April 10, 2023. Lazy Girl Designs patterns and products will continue to remain available in local quilt shops and with your favorite independent online retailers.
