Hi!
I’m Erin Nichole, the head, heart and hands behind Mija Handmade. In Spanish, mija means “my daughter”. All of my sewing is a love letter to my mother, the first woman to call me mija.
On any given day, I’m probably designing, sewing or wrapped in a quilt. I don’t have any formal art or design education, but I don’t think those things are necessary for exploring creative design. Most of my design inspiration comes from found compositions like you’d find in building architecture, fences or stairways. Mija Handmade patterns are recognizable by their modern and geometric sense of movement, repetition, and scale. I love combining strong lines with bright colors. I hope you find a little bit of beauty in my quilts, and can picture them living happily in your home!
