Yellow Rose Bucket List

By Jen McWhirt, Stitched in Schertz

Hello, my name is Jennifer McWhirt and I am a transplant Texan. My husband and I moved to San Antonio in 1995 to start his career in the US Army. We were stationed around the world, but we managed to return to San Antonio and ultimately settled down in the area when he retired in 2019. My mom taught me to make my own clothes when I was young, and I continued sewing by making costumes for my two boys. I am a self-taught quilter, but in 2023 with both my boys grown and leaving the nest, my New Year’s resolution was to begin taking classes at my local quilt shop. While taking classes, my quilting journey evolved further when I was asked to piece together quilt tops for Stitched in Schertz by owners, Joy and John. This provided me with many opportunities to expand my comfort zone and develop new skills. For the 2024 All Texas Shop Hop, they asked me to create an original quilt pattern for their shop, which pushed me in a new direction that I never thought to explore. During the 2024 All Texas Shop Hop, I met so many fun and amazing quilters, and I am honored to share my quilt pattern with y’all in 2025.

Rising Stars of Texas

By Angela Hernandez, Cardinal Creek Quilting

Thirteen years ago, Alex and Angela met while serving in the Army in Honolulu, Hawaii.  Alex was just off the plane from Iraq when he took a cab to Tripler Hospital to meet Angela who was stationed there in the Nurse Corp. Ten months later they got married. Together they have 7 children (mine, his and ours) and two grandchildren. Angela has been a nurse since 2003. She graduated from the University of Missouri in May of 2016 with a Doctor of Nurse Practice (Family Nurse Practitioner).  She enjoys working in healthcare, but her passion lies in anything creative. Cardinal Creek Quilting was born out of an idea that started 2 years ago.  Angela was fond of quilting, but had not actually made a quilt!  She bought her first 3-yard quilt book to make a quilt for her vintage RV, and the rest is history.

Texas Pillow

By Cescily Abbot, Sew Special San Antonio

I was born and raised in a small town in northeast Texas. After graduating from Texas A&M University, I relocated to the Houston area working in the environmental service industry. After the birth of my first child, I decided to devote my attention to my family full time. After my second child was born, my husband and I made the decision to homeschool our children. It was through my homeschool connections that I met the friend that sparked my interest in quilting. It was under her guidance I gained experience with many different quilting techniques. My knowledge has increased through the years. I have always enjoyed playing with existing designs to create something fun that works for me. I love working with fabric! I started working at Sew Special Quilts in Katy after my youngest child graduated. The best part of my job is being able to help others with their quilting journey.
