In March, I traveled to Washington, DC to view the unveiling of my commissioned quilt for Resolution Public Affairs. A 7ft quilt was created for their boardroom featuring Shirley Chisholm, Taylor Swift, Sonia Sotomayor, Billie Jean King, Sacagawea and Maya Angelou. It was an honor to see my work beautifully displayed. |

My work was also featured in the Spring 2026 issue of Alabama Heritage magazine as an Alabama Maker. Issues are available online or at Barnes and Noble. |

June was busy with Sewing Camps! I’ve had the privilege of teaching a Beginner Sewing Camp at Burritt on the Mountain’s Folk School. Then, I taught over 30 students at Girls, Inc. Huntsville in a multi-week camp. Many students never used a sewing machine made lanyards, bookmarks, keychains, potholders and scrunchies. |

I’ve had several inquiries about teaching private sewing lessons. Now, is the perfect opportunity to learn a new skill and create! Classes will be offered for all ages. Thanks for allowing me to share my updates! Follow me on social media to stay abreast of all my new projects. Links below! All the best, Tiavalya |
