I'm the owner & designer behind Fig Tree Quilts, a quilt pattern and fabric design company. Other than play with fabric for a living, I play with my three kids, my husband and my beagle. Life is good.
My name is Joanna Figueroa. I am a textile designer, a quilt pattern designer and the owner of Fig Tree Quilts. I run the business with the help of my right hand man, my husband, the encouragement of my children and the busy hands of a whole team of wonderful ladies [and a gentleman]. And that's just my second job! My first job is being a mom to my three kids, Ben-8, Zack-6 and Ella-2...
Between these 2 loves of mine, there isn't much time left for other things, including doing the laundry and doing my hair in the morning. I am currenlty trying to do a better job of balancing all of the things I feel passionate about. The list is long.
Things I enjoy today include exploring little towns with my family, going to flea markets, gardening especially in the Spring, taking photos of my kids, painting & sketching, pottery- both making it and buying it [my husband says I have an unnatural love of bowls!], reading sentimental books about life in small towns, putting my daughters hair in ponytails. If you ask me the same question tomorrow, I might have a diffrent list of answers. Oh, yeah, I love a good glass of iced tea any time of the day!
