Hi! My name is Dori Troutman and I’m so excited to have the privilege of being in the lineup of talented designers here at Therm O Web. I never remember a time in my life when creating wasn’t a part of it; from paper crafting to sewing to quilting and all things in between. I’m passionate about keeping the craft of sewing and quilting alive for the next generation.

On the personal side of things: my husband and I have a farm in the gorgeous rolling hills of Tennessee where we raise cattle. Our daughter and her darling family live nearby so we have the privilege of being a huge part of our two grand-girls lives! My daughter and I have a cut flower business where we grow our own flowers and sell them all summer from our darling roadside stand… another creative passion! My husband and I also have a son that lives in Arizona with his precious wife and baby girl!

I enjoy life, I love to laugh and can find humor in most things. I love my farmhouse that my husband and I built together and I’m passionate about most everything I do! I’m thrilled to be a part of the talent in Therm O Web.

Jennifer Long has been creating artistically her whole life!  Throughout her schooling years, she trained full-time to be a professional ballet dancer.  During all those years of training in the Ballet world, she also dreamed of designing costumes!  Everyday she would walk by and peek into the Ballet Costume Wardrobe – what a MAGICAL space!  She learned to sew from her mother and grandmother (who owned a fabric and knitting store) and Jennifer began sewing and designing dance skirts, costumes and knitted ballet legwarmers for herself and other dancers.

Fast forward, Jennifer and her husband are raising their 4 children on a country property outside a small, rural, farming town on the Canadian Prairies.   She began designing dolls for her own children 15 years ago when she was looking for a healthy and positive role model doll!  Growing up in the professional ballet world, she experienced an eating disorder, so it was extremely important to her to teach her own girls to love their bodies and play with dolls that promoted healthy body images!  Soon, others began requesting these handmade dolls, and so she created BEE SEW INSPIRED!

This journey has inspired her to make a positive difference by designing Modern Rag Dolls and Doll Patterns for others to be EMPOWERED!  She has immersed herself in all aspects of doll design and is the founder of the Modern Rag Doll Membership and Inspired Doll Making.  Jennifer has her own line of sewing and embroidery doll patterns and quilt patterns as well as has made patterns for individuals, organizations, fabric designers and fabric companies, authors of children’s books and international companies for mass production.

Bio:
Hi, I’m Jen and I am a stay-at-home mom to 5 kids- four girls and a boy! I grew up in Idaho and now live outside of NYC. I love the fast-paced city life. I’m married to my high school sweetheart. I love to travel and see new places. As a family, we have enjoyed exploring the East Coast and are now trying to visit each of the 50 states! I believe ice cream should be its own food group. I love to create! With a husband who works a ton and 5 kids, sewing has become my outlet. I found quilting about 5 years ago and fell in love! Now I just want to make ALL the quilts! I am so excited to be designing for Thermo-web! I hope you follow along on my quilting adventures!

My name is Julia Frazier, founder of Bayhill Studio. My mother was a very talented seamstress and had an eye for color and design, but growing up, I never had any interest in creativity whatsoever. It was a sewing class in high school that looked like an easy A that ignited my love for all things sewing and fabric. I am inspired by modern and vintage color palettes, architecture, and nature. My passion for color and creativity spilled over into art, fluid art, to be exact. Experimenting with technique and color brings so much peace while being completely addicting! When not working, you’ll find me hiking in the nearby mountains. I enjoy designing patterns that have a modern aesthetic with a timeless appeal.

My name is Julia Schweri. I am a wife to my childhood friend Sean and mother to my two amazing crafty girls, Dahlia and Melody.
As far back as I can remember (and with the help of all the things my mom saved over the years) I have enjoyed creating things. Due to my love of arts and crafts, I went and achieved my Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from Bowling Green State University where I focused in ceramics and fiber arts. When I graduated I wasn’t sure where life would take me especially when it came to what I got my degree in.
Life eventually lead me to program for those with Alzheimer’s and dementia-a place where my creativity could be used. During my 10 years of working in the industry, I rose from just an activity assistant to eventually become the director of the program with the company I was working for. I then went on to become the director of an adult daycare program that catered to the elderly and those with dementia.
Then 2020 happened. My day care center was closed due to mandates and eventually the company decided that my center would close permanently.
With my gifted time, I returned to what I loved doing. I started my blog Inflorescence Designs where I share sewing and crafting ideas, tutorials and patterns. My tagline is “Starting to bloom by choosing joy,” and that is exactly what I am doing. I love getting to do what brings me joy every day.

Hi! I was bitten by the creative bug early on in life, and have dabbled in drawing, scrapbooking, painting, photography, and fabric. I learned to sew as a young girl, making clothes for my Cabbage Patch Kid, and then got into quilting when I graduated from college. I’m a quilt pattern designer and frequently get caught up sewing my next idea late into the night. My quilting style leans toward modern and improv piecing, finding ways to give traditional ideas a twist. When I’m not sewing and pattern writing, I love to spend time outside hanging with my husband and three wild and crazy boys.

I’m a wife and a mother of three. I love spending time with my family, traveling, working out, and doing any and all craftiness as often as possible. I am a craft blogger and a simple sewing pattern designer. I absolutely love coming up with new pattern designs and making them available for others to sew.
