Edyta Sitar

Edyta's love for fabric began at a very early age when she cut her mothers'
drapes to create her first fabric project.  Her mother recognized Edyta’s
passion for fabric and she taught her the skills required for sewing.
Creating beautiful gowns initiated Edyta’s journey into creative textile
design and was a building block into the quilting adventure that lie ahead
of her.  Edyta considers her marriage to her husband Michael one of her
biggest blessings.  She not only fell in love, but she built a close
relationship with her mother-in-law Carol and grandmother-in-law Anna; two
women who introduced Edyta to their family tradition of quilting. Edyta has
always possessed a desire to express herself about the objects or occasions
in her surroundings and now quilting design is the avenue she chooses to
release this passion. The combination of inspiration, a love for fabric, a
keen eye for color, and her family teachings blended into the recipe for
developing a thriving talent for designing quilts, innovative quilting
patterns, and beautiful fabrics for MODA.

“My children and my husband are my greatest motivation; this is like a
Cinderella dream for me, being able to do what I love and sharing this love
with others is the greatest feeling and reward I could imagine!”
