Julie Herman

Hi! My name is Julie Herman & I live in the San Diego area.

I started sewing in 2002 & started blogging in May of 2009. The goal when I started my blog was to share my quilts and have a journal of them. I'm a girl who loves fabric and loves to design and sew quilts! Since starting my blog, I've been published in many magazines, started my own pattern company, and developed the Hex N More Ruler & Sidekick Ruler.

I wrote a book that was released in August of 2012. It is called Skip the Borders and is published by Martingale. You can find it in local quilt shops and bookstores.

I also have done many free online tutorials. I contributed over at the Swatch & Stitch with my column called, "A Little Birdie Told Me." In addition, I've also contributed to the Moda Bake Shop and was featured in Fresh Fabric Treats, which was published by Stash Books in May 2011.
