We’re Alisa Smith and Patty Buchholz, “Your Two Blondes,” and we’d love to introduce ourselves! Our journey began with a shared love of fabric and an addiction to all things quilting. While working at a local quilt store, we had so much fun helping others find the perfect fabric and patterns for their projects. However, we wanted to do more—moving beyond the initial stages of quilting to focus on the “completion” phase.
The Start of Our Studio
Fast forward to our purchase of longarm machines and the opening of our studio. Our first acquisition was an Innova longarm machine with a 12-foot frame and a Mach3 Autopilot Computer loaded with countless patterns. (We’re total pattern junkies—if we see one we love, we just have to get more!)
Two Blondes, One Shared Passion
Recognizing this adventure would be even better with a partner, Alisa recruited Patty, a fellow blonde and kindred spirit. After diving into training together, we were hooked! We now take immense joy in finding the perfect threads and patterns to complement the stunning quilts our customers bring to us.
Expanding Our Tools and Capabilities
Our love for the craft didn’t stop there. We also invested in a Gammill Optimum Plus with a 14-foot frame and Intelliquilter computer, giving each of us a machine to work with. These state-of-the-art tools allow us to handle even giant king-size quilts with ease. Since there are two of us quilting simultaneously, our turnaround times are quick, too!
Visit Us in the Studio
You’ll often find us in our studio Tuesday through Friday, 10:00 AM to 3:00 PM. We welcome drop-ins, and don’t be surprised if you hear laughter—it’s usually at ourselves! That’s why we’re proudly known as “Your 2 Blondes” or “Y2B.” With over 30 years of combined quilting experience, we pour love and joy into every project and stand by the quality of our work. We’re thrilled to share our passion for quilting with our community and look forward to creating beautiful quilts for years to come. There’s no stopping us now!
