I’m Jordan, the maker behind Herring on the Bobbin. I create quilts, bags, and handmade goods with bold design, thoughtful details, and plenty of heart. Every piece is stitched with care and meant to be used, loved, and lived with.

My Story

Hey, I’m Jordan — the maker behind Herring on the Bobbin. I live and sew in Petersburg, VA, where my days are split between raising two kids and running a sewing machine.


Sewing became my outlet when I got sober, and it’s grown into my business. Sobriety gave me back my focus, my creativity, and my drive to build something meaningful. Every quilt and bag I make carries a little bit of that second-chance energy — proof that building something new is always possible.


I create quilts, bags, and handmade goods that are meant to be used and loved. Nothing here is just for show — these pieces are built to last, with the same determination that keeps me moving forward every day.
