In this episode of the Sew & So Podcast, we sit down with Thadine Wormly—quilter, artist, designer, and proud mother of four. Originally from Brooklyn and later Queens, Thadine’s journey with fabric began in childhood when she learned to sew, crochet, and knit from her mother. After moving to Miami, her passion was nurtured in Home Economics classes, and later at the Barbizon Modeling School, where she often designed and created her own outfits for the runway.
Thadine spent 16 years working in New York’s fur market, mastering patternmaking with fur, leather, and cloth, before immersing herself in the quilting community. Through chance encounters, guild memberships, and world travels, quilting became her lifelong passion and outlet for creative expression. Today, her work continues to be inspired by her faith, her family, and her rich cultural experiences.
