Welcome
Welcome to Queen Bee Quilting at Shady Elm Farm
We're thrilled to welcome you to our newly unified online home, where two of our greatest passions—quilting and farm life—come together under one roof.
Why Bring Them Together?
The truth is, these two worlds have always been intertwined. The same hands that guide fabric under the longarm machine also tend the garden beds. The same eye that selects the perfect thread colour for custom quilting also captures the golden hour light filtering through the elm trees. The patience required to piece together intricate quilt blocks mirrors the patience needed to nurture seedlings into harvest.
Both quilting and farming are rooted in tradition, require attention to detail, and reward those willing to invest time and care into creating something beautiful and lasting. Whether we're stitching heirlooms or growing heirlooms, the philosophy remains the same: quality, craftsmanship, and connection.
What This Means for You
This unified website brings everything together in one convenient location. You'll still find all the longarm quilting services you've come to rely on—from custom block designs to edge-to-edge patterns that add texture and depth to your quilts. Our portfolio of original quilt block patterns, like the Autumn Adventure Block and Wisdom Flower, continues to grow.
Alongside our quilting offerings, you'll discover the heart of Shady Elm Farm: gardening tips, seasonal recipes that celebrate what's growing, photography that captures the beauty of rural life, and reflections on the rhythms of country living.
Moving Forward Together
As we continue to develop this new space, we're excited to share how these two passions inform and inspire each other. Expect to see fabric collections inspired by the farm's seasonal palette, quilting patterns that echo the geometry of garden beds, and stories that weave together the threads of creativity, whether they're cotton or cucumber vines.
Thank you for being part of this journey. Whether you've come for quilting services, pattern inspiration, gardening wisdom, or simply a glimpse into life at the farm, we're delighted you're here.
Make yourself at home. Pour a cup of tea, browse awhile, and if you can't find what you're looking for, don't hesitate to reach out.
With warm regards from the sewing room and the garden alike,
Amanda
