A Woman and Her Dog: Introducing The Athena Workshop

Behind every incredible woman is an adorable dog who inspires her. OK, not really - women are superheroes in their own rights. But in the case of The Athena Workshop, founder Megan does find purpose in the deep brown eyes of her beloved sidekick and business' namesake, Athena.
Athena plays an important role as Assistant to the Regional Manager, which really means she begs Megan for treats by taking advantage of the infamous puppy dog face many children use on their parents. Works like a charm every time! |

Megan began quilting around the age of 12, when she took an interest in her mother's quilting hobby; she was her mother's helper in the sewing room. She's now the creator, designer, and quilter at The Athena Workshop. Her designs are modern and minimalist, with clean lines and use only up to five bright colors. She focuses on designs that bring a sense of peace, joy, and stillness; designs that are calming and soothe both the mind and the eyes.
The quilts are sold on The Athena Workshop website and Etsy page, and digital quilting patterns are also available. The patterns are accessible to quilters of all levels and abilities, with multi-language patterns coming soon. (Stay tuned!)
