About

Hello there.

I’m Julie Wurzer.  I started my company Patch Abilities back in 2004 from scratch.  It has grown from a tiny side business into a wonderful business which keeps me self employed and feeds my creative desires.  My family consists of a wonderful hubby, Chad, the cutest little boys East of the Rockies, Lewie & Jack, and our golden retriever Harper.  We live in the sleepy little town of St. Lucas, Iowa.  Patch Abilities has a niche in the quilting world and that is small appliqued wall hanging patterns that are quilt beginner friendly as well as enjoyed by seasoned quilters.  I love designing, show no signs of an idea shortage and plan to keep on crankin’ out patterns til I can no longer crank.  This blog is a peek into our world, both personal and creative.  I hope you enjoy my ramblings.  Ha!  ~Julie
