About ellen edith BIO: ellen edith moved all around California but found her calling when, at age 16, her family moved to Guadalajara Mexico. She fell in love with everything handmade decorated in a riot of bright colors. Her brother & sisters were encouraged to paint murals on the walls and sew their own clothes. She has been sewing, cartooning and creating ever since. ellen was selling her original cartoons as magnets in gift stores when her sister, who worked in a quilt fabric store, encouraged her to make the cartoons into fabric.

ellen's personal sparkle lends itself to every design, every project, every THING she does!
