At Hand to Hand Studio, Kris and Jill create original fiber arts of their own design, and provide custom machine-quilting services to quilters, hobbyists, artists and designers. Their background with fiber arts began with learning traditional sewing skills as children - literally at their grandmothers' knees. Many workshops, classes and sewing circles followed, and they have both been active seamstresses/crafters/artists for most of their adult lives. While they are unwilling to commit to a specific facet of fiber arts, their recent interests include creating practical and impractical fiber arts, one-of-a-kind clothing, accessories and home décor.

Jill and Kris formed Hand to Hand Studio Inc. based on their shared interests and friendship of nearly forty years. Their mission is to develop a viable livelihood; one that inspires themselves and others creatively, and that balances their love of fiber arts with their commitment to service to their community. They envision a cycle of creativity, giving and receiving, hand to hand to hand...
