 My name is Tammie Bowser and sewing for me is just natural. I have been sewing since I was 4 years old. This is a photo of me with  wearing first outfit I can remember making. It was a purple velvet mini skirt! I must have
taken off the 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 herself.
It was given to me so that I could share it with others. On this site you can buy the book that will teach you how to make these amazing quilts, or you can commission me to
create a work of art for you. Go to the Mosaic Quilt Gallery to view more of my quilts, or to the quilters

am......Thank you and enjoy MosaicQuilt.com
