Welcome to JLyn Handmade!
JLyn Handmade is owned and operated
by me, Jennie Brandon, in Edmond, OK.
I am a Generation X adult, wife to Bryon
for 28 years, and mom to two fantastic young
adults—Kristen and Jantz!
My Sewing Journey—In April of 2020, I
decided to pull out a Bernina sewing
machine my mom had lent to my daughter
to make a quilt for a friend. Little did I know that this small act would lead me to uncover my great passion - creating with fabric!
After making a few quilts, table runners, wall hangings, etc. I gifted most of what I made but I still wanted to dive deeper into sewing skills.
I decided to try my hand at bag making—loved it! I use my Juki TL18 and Glide 40wt thread for most all bag making—the straight stitch on this machine can not be beat!
The next skill I wanted to learn was longarm quilting. I purchased an Innova M24 from my local dealer and have never looked back. My Innova is a workhorse and makes my quilting look so good!
The latest skill I have been working on is machine embroidery. I purchased a Bernina 770QE recently and have been fully immersed in everything embroidery.
I have won several ribbons at the Oklahoma State Fair in 2023, 2024 and 2025 for quilts. Including First place in the Masters Quilt Category and First place and Grand Champion in the Donation Quilt Category!
In January 2026 I took on a second side hustle as a ShowGirl for the company SewTites. SewTites is a fantastic woman owned small business that makes products that I use and believe in. The fact that I get to travel to quilt shows and talk about quilting all day is just a bonus! I have met some incredible people and love all the connections/friendships this opportunity has brought me. Check out SewTites and if you have any questions please let me know. (If you want to make a purchase please use my affiliate code "jenniebrandon" - you will receive 10% off your total purchase and I'll earn a small commission.) If you are at a quilt show where SewTites is a vendor please stop by the booth and say hello.
That’s a little about me and my sewing journey. As you can probably tell from what you have read so far, I love learning new skills and finding different ways to incorporate them together. I hope you end up with an item that you love!
