It's here! Raven and Sparrow Studios is officially live 🐦

What you'll find on the new site:

  • 🧵 A full Shop with handmade, modern quilts and fiber pieces

  • 🖼️ A Gallery to browse my work and get inspired

  • 💬 An About page if you want to know more about me and how this all started

  • 📬 Easy ways to get in touch

And here's the part I'm most proud of:

Everything is priced on an honest, transparent 3-tier scale —

  • 💙 Budget Price — if money's tight, this one's for you. You deserve beautiful things too.

  • 💚 Regular Price — covers my materials and time.

  • 💜 Support Price — pay it forward and help keep budget options open for someone else.

No guilt, no judgment — just pick what feels right for you.

Go ahead and poke around, put something on your wishlist, or just say hi. I'd love to know what you think!

With gratitude,

Hi friend,

I've been sitting on this news for a while, and I can finally share it: Raven and Sparrow Studios has a new home online! 🎉

👉 ravenandsparrowstudios.net

If you're new here — I'm Shan. I've been sewing since I was 15 (that's over 30 years now, which honestly makes me feel both proud and a little old), and these days I make modern quilts and fiber art pieces. For me, piecing fabric together isn't just a craft — it's a way of working through the stuff we all carry from childhood. Every piece is made to be touched, felt, and sat with. If it brings you a little healing too, even better.
