What Our Clients Say
My experience working with Colette at It Had To Be Sew has been outstanding! Her craftsmanship is truly exceptional, and every piece she creates demonstrates remarkable skill and artistry.
What sets her work apart is her extraordinary attention to detail. From the precision of her stitching to the thoughtful selection of fabrics and colors, every element is carefully considered and expertly executed. The quality of her workmanship is evident in both the technical aspects and the overall aesthetic appeal of her quilts.
Colette’s ability to bring designs to life while maintaining the highest standards of construction and quilting is impressive.
I would highly recommend her services to anyone seeking a quilter who combines technical excellence with genuine artistic vision.

I am fairly new to quilting - I soon discovered that the actual quilting (sandwiching, quilting, and binding) stresses me out and takes the joy out of piecing the tops!
Each of my quilt tops have been made for a special person in my life. I was so hesitant to pass off my work to be quilted after investing so much work and love into them.
However, Colette spent a lot of time listening to my vision for the actual finished product, and offered several options for the stitch design. In each case, we worked together to come up with the perfect design.
I cannot express how delighted I was with each quilt Colette finished for me. The quality of her work is outstanding - from the thread colors, to the actual stitching and binding. I absolutely recommend It Had to be Sew!
Terri J
Having had Colette finish several quilts, I think the quality of her work is excellent. She will try to match, or suggest, a quilting choice to go with the flow of the design, and her technique for adding the binding is perfect. Few quilters will attach the binding and hanging sleeve. It’s such a treat to pick up the quilt ready to go!
