Michelle Bailey, the owner of Poppy Quilt N Sew in Georgetown, started quilting 15 years ago.
Bailey always liked sewing, but between parenting and working, she struggled to find the time. Then, she discovered quilting as a creative outlet and a way to repurpose materials. Bailey began her journey by making quilts out of her children’s old shirts.
“I couldn't just make a T-shirt quilt,” Bailey said. “I had to learn everything about quilting first. I actually took a class here at Poppy's.”
As she honed her craft, Bailey started selling T-shirt quilts and teaching classes at Poppy Quilt N Sew. She is now the store's owner, after acquiring the business in 2017.
