A few of Sharon's Quilts

Sharon Malachowski began quilting as a way to express her love of color, design, and creativity. "I love the rich history of functionality and expression in the quilting medium. I like to integrate art and life, life and art."
In 2000 she was introduced to free needle machine embroidery and found she could "paint" with stitches. Since then, she has completed over 1,000 commissioned quilts and teaches locally. She works out of a studio in her home, which she shares with her husband's inspiring garden.

Sharon regularly teaches classes about the use and history of quilts and donates her work to a variety of people in need: from newborns to military personnel serving overseas. Her award-winning quilts and other textile art- handmade purses, clutches and jackets, are often on display and/or sold in select Northern California boutiques. Sharon's quilts have been shown in local, national, and international shows:

Sharon Malachowski - Custom Long Arm Hand Guided Machine Quilting

Each Rose o' Sharon creation is one of a kind. I love to sew and made it my life’s passion.

Let me help: I offer you the enjoyment of pursuing your piecework without the frustration of quilting on a regular machine. Machine quilting offers a fine alternative to hand quilting.

If you are not a quilter, I offer handmade creations for sale.

I am a home-based custom quilting service featuring an APQS long arm hand guided quilting system. I quilt in a tobacco free and animal free environment in Sebastopol California.

All prices are subject to change without notice. However, I will discuss any price changes with you, prior to starting work on your quilt.
