Amber

Amber I work remotely from Utah but a piece of my heart will always live in Ohio, where I grew up. I don't remember a time before creating, tbh.  My Mom, an artist, taught me to sew & love art before I was 5.  She had me involved in Girl Scouts, 4Hclub, weekly church activities involving crafts, & ALL THE CLASSES.  My Dad taught me some photography, marketing, graphic art, & web design.  My Grandparents & teachers taught me to love sewing, cooking, crochet, quilting, crafts, thrifty DIY, & the outdoors. Combined, they all taught me skills, encouraged my creativity, & started me on my journey to be the logical, yet creative mutt I am today.
I Studied Home Economics in college. 
As a young mother, I taught & managed craft, design, & cooking classes at my local church. I also began exploring and expanding my skills in photography, DIY, crafting, sewing, design, graphic art, and web design.  I eventually started a Home & Garden website.  I was blessed to be able to work with some amazing mentors/friends & companies such as Evite©, Target©, Lowe’s©, Disney© & Amazon©, etc.  I created designs, parties, recipes, & posts for them & I was featured & published on some of their websites & in magazines. 
When my kids were a little older, I worked at Cricut© as a designer.
My interests have since combined, morphed, & expanded into a love of creating & designing from the ground up.  I spend more time on the computer than in front of a sewing machine. I  create products, fabric, clothing, decor, printables, graphics, websites, & rooms on my computer and then bring them to life as items, rooms, & products. 
I feel very blessed to be able to work with Megan, Linda, & the rest of the Imagine That & More Team.

Donna Smeal

Quilting, Foundation & English Paper Piecing, Official Gadget Girl

Donna Smeal ---Starting with hand embroidered pillowcases at the age of 8 (which are still used occasionally) and a mother that could create something beautiful with very little, my creative seasons unfolded. There are very few needle arts that I haven't tried and enjoyed. Once I found out how satisfying it is to help others learn basic skills, along with tackling more intricate designs, I was hooked. I learned that I love to teach more than I love to finish my own projects. While I've earned my master's degree in UFOs, I have more than enjoyed gifting most of my finished projects to others. 

Madeline Leong

Free Quilting, Sewing, Crocheting, Felting, Fiber Art Enthusiast & Life-Long Learner!

Madeline Leong - Madeline spent time during childhood learning how to sew and quilt from their grandmother, Suzi. 

Eventually, life took Madeline down a more left-brain path where she attended The University of Akron & spent years, after graduating with a BA in Business Administrations, working in supply chain. 

Of course, the need and desire to create was always there. So, in the spring of 2020, at the start of the pandemic, Madeline spent lots of time creating again with her grandmother, and the love for the entire world of fiber arts completely deepened. 

Now, Madeline spends time learning and creating through many different mediums, with a heavy focus on quilting, & is eager to teach others the joy of forever-learning, creating, & working with your hands.
