Lori Holt of Bee in my Bonnett

Lori Holt of Bee in my Bonnet is a small town farm girl who spent her childhood playing in the sunshine on tractors and climbing trees. She grew up happily immersed in all things domestic. Lori is the middle child of a large family and lives closely surrounded by grandparents, uncles aunts and cousins. Her mum says that she was practically born with a needle in her hand. Lori's earliest memories are of sitting underneath the quilting frames and threading needles for her grandma and great aunts until she eventually grew old enough to make stitches of her own. Lori began her company "Bee in my Bonnet" in 1994. Her wish is that her designs in both patterns and fabric will inspire others to create and pass down the valuable lessons of days gone by taught to us by our mothers and grandmothers.
