This design was inspired by my childhood. Growing up in the Bronx there was always a hill I would have to go up or down and it always felt as if the arrows pointed down. So I would walk with my head down but my mom always told me no matter how hard it gets walking up that hill to keep my head up. I always kept her advice close to my heart because no matter how bad it gets you always have to keep your head up that hill.

Porfiria Gomez is a native New Yorker who was a former model, dancer and aspiring actress turned quilting enthusiast. She returned to her roots of quilting after she became a mom of three. Growing up in the Bronx she found inspiration from almost everywhere. Living in the Big Apple she always found creative inspiration that guided her quilting. Porfiria is also inspired by her Spanish culture that helps to bring a modern feel to her quilts. Ask her and she would also tell you her mom inspired her the most, sharing stories of quilts from her great grandmother.

Porfiria continues to grow her creative modern quilting using inspiration from her new home borough of Brooklyn. She resides in Brooklyn with her loving husband and three very active boys. These days you can find Porfiria on her sewing machine piecing together a version of a modern quilt design.
