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.

My 17 year career (in Los Angeles) had become difficult and unenjoyable. So I 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.
