Welcome to my cottage! My name is Danelle.  I am a maker of "things that have stories."  I am not sure how many generations of my family have been quilters.  But I well remember the pride I felt as a little girl giving my mom my first quilted potholder. And I remember falling asleep under a handmade quilt while trying to figure out how all the pieces fit together.

Quilting has always just been there, part of growing up in what would now be called a homesteading tradition...and until recently I took it for granted. Then I was asked to make a special quilt for someone who could not. Then I was asked to teach a few new quilters. Then I tried my first Longarm quilting machine. Finally, early in 2019 I brought home my APQS Lucey quilting machine. I quickly worked through all the tops my great aunt was making for a local care facility and started quilting for people in my area. I am loving being a part of the quilting tradition of so many other stitchers!

But when you outgrow your home? You open a store front! So in January of 2026, we moved to our current location. This allowed us to add classes, sewing machine service, fabric and sewing machine sales and more.

I'm often asked, "Why Cottage Path?"  My parents built a house in my grandparent’s pasture. When Grandma passed, I moved into her little home. For years, there has been a well worn path between the two houses. That’s the path I walked every day as I go from my cottage to my quilting studio in their larger home.  by the time I moved, the name stuck!
