Meet Tara Evans of Taralee Quiltery! - Ep. 95
Tara Evans is the owner/artist/designer behind Taralee Quiltery. As a student, Tara thrived in math, science and the arts. Her main focus was to take as many classes in the arts as she could. Amanda and Tara attended rival high schools in Boise, but the two ended up in their respective schools' choir programs. Painting was Tara's original outlet, which ultimately led her to study Fine Art in college. Before graduating, she got married and soon after becoming a mother, she started sewing for them. In 2018 Tara designed and made her first quilt pattern and the rest is history! Taralee Quiltery was born from wanting to share her love of art with the world and give other people access to her creative process by purchasing her patterns to make their own art. Tara sells her patterns both printed and PDF, as well as curated bundles. If you haven't seen her Ruby Star Starry bundles that are based on popular movies, you should check them out! Tara's style has high visual impact. Her quilts are designed to be show stoppers. Her aim is to push the boundaries in her artistic style, and in the quilting community at large. In this episode, Tara and Amanda discuss their responses to questions that were sent to Tara from some of her followers on Instagram.
