We are so pleased to introduce Jennifer McClanahan as our seventh Michael Miller Fabrics Brand Ambassador!
Jennifer
McClanahan is a pattern designer, a mother of three amazing children, a soon to
be grandma and a loving wife.
Jennifer
spent the majority of her childhood in beautiful southern Indiana, learning
many crafts, including sewing, from her mother, aunts, cousins and grandmother.
A couple of years after graduating, she married her high school sweetheart and
embarked on a 22-year journey of traveling the world with her Navy husband and
kiddos. Jennifer credits these world travels and variety of cultures for
expanding her creativity and influencing her modern, artistic and bold style of
design.
Once
Jennifer’s husband retired from the Navy and her children began spreading their
own wings, she decided to share her passion for quilting and unique design with
others. Thus—Sweet Tea Pattern Co. was born!
Jennifer feels blessed and
fortunate that she can spend her days in her studio doing what she
loves—creating, designing, sewing and quilting. When she is not in her studio,
you can find Jennifer binge watching reality TV, cooking and enjoying time with
family and friends.
Here are some questions we asked her and responses:
1. What was your first sewing project?
Its been a long time, I learned to sew when I was around 5 years
old, so I believe it was a blanket for my doll.
2. What other hobbies do you enjoy?
All types of sewing, but I enjoy drawing, reading –
fiction and nonfiction and cooking.
3. What is your favorite color?
Its so hard to pick a favorite color I love all brite
colors. I guess if I have to choose one
I tend to lean towards Blue.
4. Where is your dream vacation? Ireland
5. Who taught you how to sew?
I come from a large family that all sews. I’ve learned different
things (crocheting, cross-stitch etc) from different family members but I would
say sewing/quilting ultimately came from my Grandmother.
6. What food could you eat everyday?
Anything Mexican
7. What do you want to be doing in five years?
I want to still be sewing everyday and playing with my
future grandkids.
Thank you Jennifer! We look forward to working with you and are excited to see what you create for Michael Miller Fabrics.
