Quilting is for Everyone


Hi! I’m Sara Tallas, founder of Yes A Quilter. I’ve been crafting in one medium or another from a very young age, but none of them really seemed to stick. (I wish I had known that before I purchased all of the tools needed!) I discovered Quilting in 2014, and finally found my passion! 

In the years that followed, I read blogs, devoured quilting magazines, watched tutorials, signed up for block and quilt swaps and made friends! I also experienced various forms of discrimination including ageism, racism, sexism and classism. Whenever I would go shopping for fabric in a local brick and mortar store, the other patrons and often the employees would question me in disbelief when I said “I’m a Quilter.”  “YOU’RE a Quilter?!?!?” 

YES. A QUILTER.

At the time, I was 34 years old. I also had long blonde hair with teal, purple and pink streaks. I have tattoos and visible piercings. I’m a little bit Goth, a little bit Rock n’ Roll. And I AM A QUILTER. 

This discrimination kept me from seeking out and attending local guild meetings. It made me question the legitimacy of my art – was I even ALLOWED to call myself a Quilter??
