About Us

Julie M. Watkins created Helen's Handmade website as an online selling venue for items made by Maine Quilt Company. She chose the name, Helen's Handmade, in honor of her mother, Helen A. French, who is gone but never forgotten.

Julie has been sewing since she was a little girl she has been quilting for about 14 years. She enjoys creating patterns and designs for sewing and quilting. While Maine Quilt Company has a primary focus on quilting patterns, Helen's Handmade focuses on the sewn items themselves.
