Stories Stitched in Fabric

Portrait of the artist
Welcome

Create Boldly. Stitch Smartly.

Award-winning art quilter and Doctor of Physical Therapy helping makers combine creativity with ergonomics for lasting joy.

I’m Paula Paradis, an award-winning art quilter who finds endless inspiration in fabric, thread, and the stories they can tell. My work is rooted in color, texture, and the quiet magic that happens one stitch at a time.

I love sharing that journey—whether I’m traveling across Florida for presentations and workshops or connecting virtually with guilds around the country. If you’re here to learn, to book a program, or simply to enjoy the work, I’m so glad you’re here.

A quiet letter, a few times a year.

New work, class openings, and the occasional thought from the cutting table.
