I’m Julia, the artist behind The Quilter’s Grotto!

My passion for art turned into a creative business in 2023 when I began designing Christo-centric pieces that drew upon my theological background and Catholic spirituality. Inspired by my faith and the opportunity for evangelization through sacred art, I decided to start The Quilter’s Grotto, a Catholic textile art shop.

The name of my shop originates from the grotto on the campus of the University of Notre Dame, my alma mater. The Notre Dame grotto is a replica of where Our Lady appeared to St. Bernadette in Lourdes, France, and I spent many a night praying there during my undergraduate and graduate time at the university. It seemed only fitting then that my art shop invokes her patronage.

Feel free to reach out with any inquiries or questions. I am currently accepting commissions and will provide an estimated cost for your project after our initial consultation.

I look forward to hearing from you! Go Irish!
