Edyta Sitar: Hops To It!
Edyta’s love for fabric began at a very early age when she cut her mothers’ drapes to create her first fabric project. Her mother recognized Edyta’s passion for fabric and she taught her the skills required for sewing. Creating beautiful gowns initiated Edyta’s journey into creative textile design and was a building block into the quilting adventure that lie ahead of her. Edyta considers her marriage to her husband Michael one of her biggest blessings. She not only fell in love, but she built a close relationship with her mother-in-law Carol and grandmother-in-law Anna; two women who introduced Edyta to their family tradition of quilting. Edyta has always possessed a desire to express herself about the objects or occasions in her surroundings and now quilting design is the avenue she chooses to release this passion. The combination of inspiration, a love for fabric, a keen eye for color, and her family teachings blended into the recipe for developing a thriving talent for designing quilts and quilting patterns.
Edyta’s latest adventure was creating her new book, Hop To It. Through the beautiful and inspiring pages, she will guide you on a journey
that will fill your world with color as she shares her techniques for selecting and combining fabrics. The book is filled with eight wonderful projects that any quilter would cherish. We are offering this pattern as a block of the month that will begin in June! Please join us for the fun…Mention HOPTOIT as the coupon code and receive your sign up fee free!
“My children and my husband are my greatest motivation; this is like a Cinderella dream for me, being able to do what I love and sharing this love with others is the greatest feeling and reward I could imagine!”
We asked Edyta what her favorite T.V. show was and she tol us: ” My favorite TV show is “Amazing Race”, I just love the thought of travelling to faraway places.”
