About

Hi there,

My name is Sandi Colwell and I’m so happy you are here visiting my blog! This space is meant to be a warm and friendly place where women can encourage, inspire, and connect with each other. I started this blog back in 2015 while also running a blog for my quilting business. This one was intended for lifestyle and writing, whereas the other was for my pattern design and long arm posts. The quilting one always seemed to win my attention and I didn’t have a lot of leftover time and energy for this one! Now, I have retired my quilting business and though I still post over there, my focus these days is on writing, wellness, travel, and health. I looked back to see what kinds of posts I had published here and decided to archive them and start anew. I’ll be creating content for all of the pages in the next few days.

I’m a wife to Greg and a mom to three daughters – Amanda, Lindsey and Leah. We had this photo taken on a family vacation to Kauai, Hawaii. It’s one of my favorite photos of all us together. Even though the girls have grown up and gone on to college, grad school, full time jobs, and married life, they are still on the top of my priority list.

In April of this year, I retired my quilting business of 13 years. During those years I taught quilting, designed for magazines, authored a book, long armed for customers, and enjoyed art quilting. I was always longing to write though and did manage to have several articles published in various magazines but now I’m ready to dedicate my time to getting my fiction book written and also continuing to write inspirational essays for publication.

Thank you for visiting the blog. If there’s a topic you’d like to see more information about, please let me know through the comments below.
