Hi, i'm Daisi! I was born in Sao Paulo, Brazil and my background is in Economics and Masters in Finance, a field that I worked in for almost 8 years. In 2015 I came to the US for a work-study interexchange program of 2 years, and I met/dated my American husband during this period, after the program was over we got married in New Jersey where we live with 3 cats and a hamster.
I got interested about sewing during my interexchange program, I watched lots of Youtube videos on how to sew bags for over a year before I had a sewing machine. Then, in 2016 my husband (boyfriend at the time) gifted me a sewing machine, and that’s how it all started, I am a self-taught sewer and quilter. I used to make bags from purchased and free patterns available online, and sell them at craft shows all over NJ, and after one year sewing I started creating my own designs, but had never sold any bag pattern until 2021.
In 2020, after being exhausted from sewing masks, I wanted to try something different and decided to make my first quilt, an 80in x 90in that is the only quilt I have that was quilted by a long-arm professional as quilting my own quilts became my favorite part of the process, I’ve quilted over 50 quilts since I started.
I also enjoy other hobbies: I paint in acrylic, oil and watercolors, I love loom knitting, lettering and some crochet as well.
Regarding sewing and quilting, that are both my main activities, I enjoy traditional piecing, foundation paper piecing and English paper piecing. Designing is my dear passion that I take as a relaxing time for expressing my inner view of everything beautiful I come across.
I prefer to stand in the traditional quilt designer style with a modern touch, as I do love and inspire myself more towards classic and conventional patterns with a contemporary twist.
My favorite color is to use the rainbow palette as I can’t choose one single color, and most of my projects are multicolored.
