I hope you’re enjoying meeting all types of quilters during Handi Quilter’s And I Quilt campaign. Today we’re introducing Vanessa Clark from Dothan, Alabama.

Vanessa Clark

This profile warmed my heart because you can easily see that Vanessa adores her grandchildren. I think it’s rare that a grandma isn’t head over heels for the kids of her kids.

It’s such a bright spot to see their smiling faces!

Vanessa has a long history of volunteerism, which you can hear more about in her And I Quilt video.

Vanessa quilts on a Handi Quilter Avanté. I love this red and white quilt! You can see more of Vanessa’s work by following her on Instagram: @longleaf_quilter.

I hope you’ll take a moment to watch the video. Feel the emotion as Vanessa talks about leaving a legacy for her family with her quilts.

If you missed any of the other And I Quilt personalities, take a peek. I find them to be inspiring!
