My name is Irina. I’m originally from Kyiv, Ukraine, and moved to the United States with my family in my twenties. My love for fiber arts began in childhood, when I first learned hand embroidery and crochet. By the time I was in college, I had started sewing my own clothes. I’ve always loved the quiet joy of creating something unique and personal from scratch.

My creative path eventually led me into computerized embroidery, and then to the world of longarm quilting. While I spent my professional life working in technology, my free time was always devoted to creating. 

There is something so magical about watching a quilt transform the moment it’s stitched. It’s such a pleasure to see the layers finally come together, and I truly love helping others bring their vision to life. Based in Marblehead, Massachusetts, I’m grateful to be part of the North Shore quilting community and look forward to working with you.
