Hi, I'm Amanda
I'm a quilter, a designer, a mother, and a collector of beautiful fabric. I live in Utah with my husband and three kids, in a home surrounded by more than 100 rose bushes, a full garden, a small orchard, and 30 years' worth of mature trees we didn't plant but have grown to love. Nature has a way of sneaking into everything I make.
My design philosophy is simple: color first, always. I want every kit to feel like it was chosen just for you, because in a way, it was. I pour over fabric lines for weeks before a single kit comes together. When it's right, you know.
I've spent nearly my whole life with fabric in my hands. Growing up in Florida, my mother taught me to quilt, and somewhere in those quiet hours of color and texture, I found something that felt like home. Years later, surrounded by the mountains of Utah and a yard full of roses, I'm still doing exactly that, choosing fabrics that belong together, designing patterns that feel like they've always existed, and sharing the process with a community I genuinely love.
Westwood Acres started small in 2009 selling fabric by the yard for a few of my favorite designers. It has since grown into something I couldn't have imagined. What began as a passion became a family endeavor. My husband Weston has been part of this business from the very beginning, and now our three children work alongside us, helping fill orders, prep kits, and keep things running. There is something deeply right about that.
Every kit we release is limited edition and curated entirely by hand. I choose each fabric with intention, imagining how the colors will live together in your home, and what it will feel like to hold the finished quilt years from now. That's the goal, always. Something worth keeping.

The Kit Philosophy
Choosing fabric is the hardest part of quilting. Most quilters spend hours, sometimes days, pulling bolts, second-guessing combinations, and still walking away unsure. They end up with a mountain of fabric and eventually (if they're lucky), the quilt comes together and something feels off. A color fights instead of sings. A print overwhelms what should whisper.
I saw this play out in my own life and I didn't want to contribute to it happening in other quilters' lives as well. We made a significant shift in our business approach and started selling curated kits because we believe the best quilt you'll ever make shouldn't begin with a guessing game. Every Westwood Acres kit arrives with every fabric already chosen, balanced, and ready to cut. No decision fatigue. No mismatched prints. No wasted yardage from fabrics that didn't make the final cut. Just a thoughtfully assembled collection of fabric that already knows how to be beautiful together, so you can spend your time doing what you actually love. Making something that lasts.
No More Decision Fatigue
Every kit arrives with the hardest decisions already made. Amanda has spent hours, sometimes weeks, pulling fabrics so you don't have to. Inside every kit you'll find a color palette that already works, a low-volume selection that quietly glows, and a pattern designed to guide you from first cut to finished quilt. The colors are balanced. The prints are curated. The pattern is ready to follow. No second-guessing, no mismatched prints, just everything you need to make something you'll love.
Blessed to Work Together
Westwood Acres is more than a business. It's what happens when a family decides to build something together, and then actually does it. Every person you'll meet below plays a real role in getting your kit from Amanda's sewing room to your door, and we wouldn't have it any other way.
Amanda is our Creative Director. She personally chooses every fabric and print that goes into each kit, designs and writes all of our patterns, and runs our Instagram account herself. If you aren't following along over there, that's the best place to start. She also makes every gorgeous quilt you see on the site.
Weston is our Chief of Operations. He handles website design and maintenance, the technical side of running a modern e-commerce business, order fulfillment, stock photography, and yes, finances and taxes too.
Our three children help fold, pack, and ship each of your bundles. They are learning the value of hard work, how to manage their time, and hopefully a thing or two about running a business someday.
Wendi, Amanda's mother, rounds out the team. She manages our email inbox, helps resolve any order issues, and keeps our Pinterest and Facebook accounts running. Go give her some love over there.
