About Jamie

Jamie Wilson is the owner of JellyBeanQuilts.com, where she creates modern memory quilts out of baby clothes for customers around the world, and ListaLu.com, where she creates and sells tools and patterns to create your own handmade memories at home.

Jamie has always been a sewing fanatic, helping her mom create her Halloween costumes and learning how to sew the coolest biker shorts in the world at age 10 courtesy of her grandma Eileen.

An avid 4-Her and president of the Liberty Pathfinders (truly one of her highest honors-she is an Iowa farm girl after all!) Jamie spent many a summers day creating crafty projects for the county fair. She developed her passion for quilting in high school; she even convinced her principal to let her make a quilt for credit as an independent study class!

She went on to receive a Bachelor of Arts in Journalism from Drake University, but not without bringing her sewing machine to college and earning the nickname “Martha Stewart” from her sorority sisters. (Jamie still takes this as the ultimate compliment, by the way.)

After creating the first Jelly Bean Quilt from her son Erik’s clothes in 2004, Jamie started making memory quilts for family and friends. In early 2008 she decided to turn her hobby into a business and developed her website, JellyBeanQuilts.com.

She now quilts full-time from her home just north of Phoenix, and has created hundreds of Jelly Bean Quilts for customers across the United States, and even as far away as Australia, Canada, Dubai, Bahrain, Hong Kong, Japan, and the UK.
