About the Maker
Made with real hands.
For real readers.
Hi, I’m Teri — quilter, reader, and firm believer that your everyday essentials should feel like a warm hug, not an afterthought.
How Silver Leaf came to be
I’ve been making things my whole life — quilting, sewing, embroidery. It’s the kind of work that asks for your full attention and gives something back: a finished piece, made with care, that lasts.
After a long career in the science industry, I knew I wanted my next chapter to involve making — really making. Not just as a hobby, but as a business I could pour myself into and feel proud of every single day.
That’s how Silver Leaf Thread Work was born.
“I stopped reading for a season once because my glasses prescription was wrong. When I finally got the right prescription, my love of reading came rushing back. It reminded me that the right support changes everything — and that’s what I want Silver Leaf to be.”
Everything I make is designed to support your reading life: protect the things you love, make the rituals you already have feel a little softer, and remind you that cozy is not extra. Cozy is how we survive.
This is quilter-made craftsmanship. There’s a difference.
I don’t just sew — I quilt. I have a professional long-arm quilting machine and the experience to back it up. Every piece that leaves my hands goes through a process built around quality, not speed.
What I make for you
Silver Leaf is for readers and planner lovers who want their everyday rituals to feel warm, beautiful, and very them. My shop carries quilted Kindle covers, book totes, lap blankets, bookmarks, bowl cozies, and bookish stickers — plus book tracker planners for the organized reader in all of us.
“Most bookish brands sell theme. Silver Leaf sells theme AND craftsmanship.”
If you’ve ever bought something cute and watched it fall apart in six months — you’re in the right place. I make things meant to be kept. Gifted. Maybe even passed down.
Quality
Every piece is made with premium materials and finished with intention. Buy once, love it forever.
Integrity
I’m honest, I don’t oversell, and I deliver exactly what I promise. No surprises, just quality.
Connection
Everything I make is meant to feel like it gets you — your reading life, your rituals, your cozy corner.
Let’s make your reading life cozier.
