My Story...


  

Greetings! Welcome to the Quilted Illusions website. My name is Erin Judd and I am the owner of Quilted Illusions. I started my quilting business in 2006 and I am really excited about the direction it is headed in.

 
I have a Gammill Classic Plus long-arm quilting machine. Besides my long-arm business, I am also the mother of three sons. My eldest son is 6 years old and the twins are 5. At the age of three, my oldest son was diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder. The twins were diagnosed with autism at the age of two. Needless to say, my life has been very full.
 
My passion for quilting has been one of my greatest outlets. It allows me to release my daily stress by creating beauty and comfort at the same time. My boys have always loved snuggling up in my quilts when they are finished (sometimes the quilts aren't even finished before I'll find them on one of the boys' beds). All three of my boys love the different quilt blocks and will trace the quilting from my long-arm all over the quilts using their fingers.
 
I have always used different forms of deep pressure therapy on my boys. They respond well to this. It calms them down when they become over stimulated, it helps them to sleep better at night, and when entering into a new situation it gives them a sense of comfort.
 
In September of 2006 I started to come up with a plan for a weighted quilt using the same fabrics and quilt patterns that they love so much. The result is the Weighted Quilt by Quilted Illusions. The kids love their quilts and snuggle with them all the time.

I then started to think of a design for a weighted vest that had a discrete, stylish, and comfortable design to it. I wanted it to be something the boys would be able to wear in public without standing out, something that the `normal` kids would be envious of. The result is the Weighted Vests by Quilted Illusions. One of my twins has a vest with the solar system on it. He carries it everywhere with him.

All of my weighted products are machine washable. I weight them with polly-pellets so the weights are not as coarse as the rocks, sand, or rice that you find in most of the other weighted products on the market. You can choose from the fabrics I have on hand or if your loved ones like a particular theme (like the solar system), I will do my best to accommodate you.

Please click on the deep-pressure therapy link to find out about the benefits of this wonderful therapy.

I hope you enjoy shopping through my website. If you have any questions, please feel free to call me at 320-543-3846, or through my contact link on the menu.
