Deer Valley rag quilt throw in Joel Dewberry FabricsWELCOME, Melanie and her SOUTHERN CHARM QUILTS shop on Etsy. I had fun going through Melanie's shop and seeing all the beautiful quilts, and other items which she creates. When you pay a visit to SOUTHERN CHARM QUILTS, you will find a wide selection of delightful quilts, totes and diaper bags, pillows and shams, and much more to choose from. I just love the charming diaper bag shown below.
What led you to start creating your art/craft?
I watched my Grandma make me clothes and costumes as I grew up, I always loved watching her. I would play at her feet while she worked. I actually learned how to sew in Home Ec. class in high school.
How did you decide what medium you wanted to work with?
I decided to learn how to quilt, because I loved snuggling under them, I could just never afford to buy them, so I thought I could learn to do it myself. That's why I try to keep my quilts so affordable, I know others feel the same way.

I love picking out the fabrics. It is my absolute favorite part. I could shop for them all day long. I buy so much fabric, that I never even get around to using, I love it that much
If you had to choose a fruit OR a vegetable, to describe your art/craft, what would you choose, and why?
I would say a pear, but I'm only saying that because its my favorite. Not so crazy about how they taste, I just like the way they look.
If you had to choose one other medium in which to display your “creativity”, what would that be, and why?
I used to scrapbook before scrapbooking was cool. I didn't have all the cool things that you can go out and buy now for your scrapbook. I had to make my own. I would stay up all night when my children were babies making their scrapbooks. I haven't touched a scrapbook for 10 years now, but I could definitely take it back up.
What message, if any, do you want to convey with your art/craft?
I don't really have a message to convey. I just like to look at cute stuff.
What advice do you have for other artists/crafters?
I would say to love what you do. If you start to not love it, swap to something else that you do love. There is still a lot of stuff I want to learn to do.
