Meet the Staff
Everyone at Crafters Quarters is happy to help you however you wish - just ask!
Jennifer (”Jensi”) Rogers, Founder
Jensi grew up in her mother’s fine art studio and has always been surrounded by all sorts of fun equipment and projects. After college Jensi entered the world of high-tech telecommunications training and education management. Although her exciting career enabled her to travel all over the world, Jensi soon discovered that she sincerely missed her creative roots.
Jensi began quilting over 10 years ago to relieve stress and make holiday presents for her family - and the hobby grew into a passion. Jensi started to yearn for a studio of her own with fun, cutting-edge equipment. Knowing that she would want to share such a great place with her friends, Jensi developed the Crafters Quarters concept!
Come visit Jensi at Crafters Quarters and feel free to ask questions or offer suggestions.
