Judy learned to quilt at a young age. After becoming a healthcare professional, she uprooted from NJ and headed to Montana! There Judy earned her Bachelors's and Masters's Degree in Nursing. She also experienced many western type jobs including, Lambing, Taxidermy, Fishing guide, and even Wrangler! She also spent time in Chile and Alaska. Judy enjoyed a successful career as a Family Nurse Practitioner and cherished the views from her 20-acre ranch near Bozeman Mt. Here she became reacquainted with Quilting. After teaching many of her friends, how to quilt, she started a small business with a friend." All Patched Up" sold original designs, packaged in kit form, at home parties. Judy's home also became the venue for weekend quilting gatherings, featuring great food and fun times! As difficult as it would seem for Judy to leave Montana, the health of her parents required more of her participation. In 2005, she returned to New Jersey. While awaiting the transfer of her medical license, she found that Bernina Dealers were just too far away. She decided that if she were granted a Bernina Dealership, she would open a quilt shop. In August 2006 Judy had a Bernina Dealership, a Long Arm Quilting machine and 300 bolts of fabric! In 2007 she added a second Long Arm machine. In 2009 she moved to a larger shop. In 2010 she added an adjoining building. In 2011 two computerized Longarm machines and another Long Arm. 2013 she became affiliated with Melco Embroidery machines! She has also added Brother and Janome brand machines and is an authorized Innova Longarm Training center! Visit Olde City Quilts® where thousands of bolts of fabric also await your visit! From Big Sky to Burlington!
In 2005, Judy, having lived primarily in Montana for twenty two years stepped aside from her position as a family Nurse Practitioner. She packed up her most cherished belongings and moved back to NJ! Among the items she brought back was her wood burning kitchen stove, her Bernina 1080 her Bernina 165 and the remaining inventory from a small quilt kit business she had operated with her friend in Montana. Soon she began the process of having her Medical license transferred from Montana.This did not go smoothly. Time began to drag on so she began getting her sewing room situated in her new home. It seemed like the perfect time to find her nearest Bernina dealer and have her machines serviced. After a brief search, she was stunned to learn how far away Bernina dealers were. About this same time she made a decision to rent a table at the quilt show in Somerset NJ. She thought she would try to sell off her remaining quilt kits. Judy approached the Somerset show certain that her items would be a flop with an east coast crowd. She was stunned to see how wrong she was. Her little booth at Somerset was quite popular, and enabled her to assemble a mailing list of local quilters. It seemed Judy's professional life was about to change. Judy began looking for locations that would accomodate a nice sized Quilt shop and a soon to be purchased Long Arm Quilting machine, but first she needed Bernina to grant her a dealership.
