Roseann Meehan Kermes is the owner of Rosebud’s Cottage in White Bear Lake MN. She began her career as a teacher and designer at a local quilt store, focusing on soft projects and small quilts. As a designer, her patterns were sold to quilt shops and distributors in the quilting industry. Her projects are often featured in Better Homes and Gardens® publications and other craft magazines. She’s currently a contributor to American Quilt Retailer, where she writes articles for quilting industry retailers, as well as American Patchwork and Quilting®,. Roseann opened her retail store fourteen years ago, following the closing of the store where she worked. In 2004, her store Roseann K was chosen as one of the top ten shops for Quilt Sampler® ermes magazine. Roseann grew up in a creative home in Lake http://www.rose Elmo MN — her father owned several businesses, and her buds-cottage.co m/ rosebudscottag mom was a 4-H leader, and one of the founding mothers of e.typepad.com http://www.fac Minnesota Quilters, Inc. In addition to working with ebook.com/ fabric and wool, she enjoys other forms of creative RBCottage expression, such as paper crafts, decorative painting, and altered art. With a camera always in her pocket, she takes lots of photos and shares them with others on her blog. Her motto ... there’s inspiration everywhere!
Melanie Thornton
Melanie started sewing as a little girl - making projects at home with her mom until she was old enough to join 4-H and work on projects with her 4-H group leader....which was best for both her and her mother's sanity. (She may be a little teeny tiny bit stubborn.) Over 25 years later, she is still creating with a sewing machine. Making clothes for her children (and herself!) is probably what she enjoys most - although she has certainly caught the quilting bug. In fact, she has started looking at fabric not only in fashion terms but quilting terms as well! A little bit scary for her! She owns and operates Above All Fabric online and plays with fabric as often as possible.
