Welcome to JW Giftware!

As a Graphic Designer by profession, I yearn for time away from my computer.  I grew up with a “crafty” family and find much of my inspiration comes from them.  Many holidays were spent making gifts for family and friends, and even our own household.  40+ years later, as I unpack the holiday boxes to decorate my home, I find a little hand painted bunny, or a wreath made of fabric tubes and braided, or the stuffed turkey that holds napkins.  They always make me smile.

All of my Gift Items are handmade and with love.  Although JW Giftware started with hand painted holiday dishes, I’ve discovered different passions along the way.  Patchwork Pooch was created when I was bitten by the quilting bug!  And since “all my children have paws,” it seemed like a natural progression.

More recently, I’ve added Apron Britches.  My friend Kathé and I have gone a little nuts and I think you’ll love these “recycled” jean aprons as much as we do.  We model everyone we make!

All current items for sale can be found at www.jwgiftware.etsy.com – but feel free to contact me for custom orders.  In addition, JW Giftware has added a new shop specializing in custom animal silhouette artwork – check out The Argyle Aardvark on Etsy.  Enjoy!
