Our Heritage

Teal Wave Underline

Surfing Mermaid Designs began on a small dining room table, surrounded by  fabric scraps and generations of love. My passion for quilting and fabrics was passed down to me by my grandmother, my mother, and incredible mentors from the Amish community in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. I learned by watching, doing, and listening—absorbing the patience, skill, and dedication needed to master this craft. Those early moments taught me that quilting is more than sewing pieces together; it’s about telling a story, building a connection, and honoring tradition through every stitch.

Today, I carry that legacy into Surfing Mermaid Designs. Whether I’m helping someone choose the perfect fabric or stitching a custom embroidery piece, I’m sharing a part of that history. And I’m proud to pass it on to every customer who walks through our door.
