ABOUT

Our love for lavender happened in 2007. Our lavender “way of life” started in 2009. We had a small number of plants, 300 Grosso to be exact. Learning a lot of pros and cons along the way. By the year 2023 we had 1800 plants with 12 different varieties. We sold some 4000 lavender plants out of our greenhouse. Now its time to take a field of lavender break! So, we closed the door to working of the lavender field and opened the door for so much more in 2026.

There has to be more……

A New Season, Same Heart

For many years, our lavender fields were a place of peace, fragrance, and simple joy. After much love and many harvests, both the land and I stepped into a season of rest — a chance to breathe, restore, and prepare for what comes next. That rest has blossomed into something new.

🧵 Welcome to Our Lilly Pad Sewing Room

What began as a quiet shift has grown into a vibrant, hands‑on creative space. We are now fully focused on:

• Sewing classes for beginners and seasoned stitchers

• A growing selection of patterns

• Creative workshops that bring people together

• Handmade items and curated sewing supplies ( including lavender elated products, some habits are hard to break)

• New opportunities for learning, crafting, and community

The same care that once went into tending lavender now goes into every stitch, every class, every pattern we offer. This is a new chapter — rooted in rest, blooming with possibility.

• We have permission to teach the patterns from the following companies:

• Missouri Star Quilt Company, Shabby Fabrics ( Pending ), Patch Abilities, Rachael’s of Greenfield, GiGi’s Thimble to name just a few. We post others on our facebook page, when we offer a class by a company that is not taught in great degree . Not that its a lesser company but more that many are not that advanced.

• We also have our own patterns “The Lilly Pad sewing room” creates, “ Pepper’s Patterns”.
