About the Designer

Hannah grew up in Germany and learned how to sew from her mother and grandmother. Many of her favorite childhood memories evolve around designing and sewing garments, yet for a while she lost touch with sewing and focused on other interests, such as her work as a neurobiologist. Recently, after a prolonged period of sickness, she rediscovered sewing as a compensatory activity to research. She then stumbled across and instantly fell in love with modern quilting, which opened up a new world of playing with graphic design and fabrics. You can see more of Hannah’s sewing adventures on her blog www.hannahsews.com and on Instagram @verdigrissewing.
