Tara Faughnan

Tara gas spent the past 20+ years stitching her way through color palettes, quilt blocks, and creative experiments that don’t always go according to plan—and she wouldn’t have it any other way.

Quilting, for her, is more than just a craft. It’s a way of slowing down, playing with color, solving little puzzles, and finding joy in the process (even when seam-ripping!).

Her background is in textile design, but her creative soul belongs to quilting—especially when she gets to share that love with other curious, creative minds.
