About Well Thread

Well Thread began as a side gig, an Instagram name (@wellthreadquilts) and a way to channel my newfound obsession with quilting in 2012.

About Me

I’m Amanda, the one covered in thread and always needing to clean the sewing room. I’m also the Member & Sponsor Manager for The Modern Quilt Guild.

I have a B.A. in Spanish and History from Rice University, and an Ed.M. from Harvard University in Education Policy & Management.  But, you always hear you can be whatever you want to be, and I at some point I started believing that, so I decided to be this.

When I began sewing, I discovered peace, zen, and flow.  There is joy in the creative adventure of sewing, and meditation in the repetitive process of quilt-making specifically.  In teaching sewing and quilting, I hope to help others find those same spaces of calm, as well as challenge.  For those who do not have the time or inclination to make their own quilts, but still covet the handmade, I can create commission work especially made for them.
