Megan Lynch, Owner
Megan comes to us with a BS in Apparel Design and BA in Theatre from Colorado State University, and a year-long internship and scholastic scholarship with the Pacific Conservatory Theatre. Beginning with small cross stitching crafts at the age of 6, she became fascinated with sewing, embroidery, costume, and fashion. With a background in theatre, she has experience in garment patterning and construction spanning from Medieval to current fashions. She comes to this business from the Washington, D.C. Metro area after working as a stitcher & First Hand with Tony Award® winning Signature Theatre and as a stitcher with the
Washington National Opera.

Customizable garments that are made to last are what drives her to help you make your sewing project truly unique and made just for you! Working with BERNINA machines for over a decade, she can’t wait to share her knowledge and help find the right machine for you and your needs.
Stop into Studio Bernina today, and sew your dreams into reality!

She loves to sew and after taking a hiatus, she returns to us with a new invigoration for sewing and seeing all the ways that BERNINA has advanced the sewing industry. She loves talking to customers, cracking jokes with her wonderful sense of humor, hearing all about your projects, and is SEW excited to talk to you about textiles (especially knits - her new favorite!).

Terry Birdsell, Certified Gem Affiliate, Quilting Teacher
Terry has been working in property management and retail management for a total of 35 years while raising eight children! She has lived her life with a can- do attitude. She jumps in feet first in all that she does, laughing all the way. She wanted to learn to quilt…and did just that. She also taught herself to use a longarm. Terry has been quilting for about seven years.

What I love most about Terry is that she teaches as she lives her life -- with kindness, grace, and humility. She knows there is a gem to be found in all of us. Terry’s advice: “Keep smiling and enjoy the journey.”
