I have five employees, and they’re all wonderful! Our entire staff is made up of avid quilters, and each brings their own personality and special set of skills to the shop.
Janie Libra, that's her in the front left, has been with us since we opened our doors. She has her own long-arm machine and does a lot of quilting for me and our customers. She's truly an asset to the shop.
The most recent addition to our staff is Joanne. Like the rest of us, she's also an eager quilter. Joanne mostly fills in when the regular staff are at retreats, quilt shows or spending quality time at home.
Nancy Warriner is next, she is an avid quilter and a real people person. Her outgoing personality makes everyone who visits the shop feel right at home.
My nieces, Kaija Sorensen and Karina Olson are part of my Timeless Treasures family as well. Kaija, back middle, has worked for me for over three years. She's a quilter and has already designed three of her own quilts. Karina, back right, is also a quilter and has worked here for about two years. Kaija and Karina are both very active in 4H, where they’ve used their quilting skills in a variety of projects.
That's me, Diane Pelto, in the front right. When I made my first quilt 19 years ago who would have thought it would come to this! What an experience it's been, this dream come to life. I'm so lucky! I get to meet the best people and make new friends every single day.
I’ve got the world’s best job!
