Lazy Girl Designs

About Joan Hawley, founder and creator of Lazy Girl Designs (LGD).

Lazy Girl is all about finding the easiest way to successful fabric crafting. Anchored in the quilt industry while flirting with the sewing junkies, we make our own rules, and buck convention where possible. Joan’s passion was purses, but if it was sewing and quilting related – she was interested!

She began sewing at a young age and focused on making her own clothes and home dec furnishings. A friend introduced her to the world of quilting years later and took her to her first quilt shop. She didn’t know shops dedicated to quilting even existed until then!

In early May 2022, Joan passed away suddenly and unexpectedly. The sewing & quilting world lost a dynamo, and she’s dearly missed by her family, friends, fans, and followers.

In April 2023, Julie Herman of Jaybird Quilts, a dear friend, colleague, and mentee of Joan’s, acquired the Lazy Girl Designs brand and product line. Julie strives to honor Joan’s legacy for many years to come as a steward of the Lazy Girl patterns, notions, and products.
