Laura Shrader is an artist based in New York State and the owner of Swing Kitten Handmade. She is a mom, an educator, lover of cats and coffee- not necessarily in that order.
Swing Kitten Handmade evolved from my love of creating joyful and functional pieces for the home. Inspired by all things Golden Era including swing dancing and big band music, and films from the 1930's and 1940's, my choice of fabrics reflects earlier times. I'm so glad you're here. Pull up a chair and stay awhile. Check out my pieces and feel the quilt joy.
