It was inevitable that Vanessa Goertzen, founder of Lella Boutique, would become a quilter. Addictions of this magnitude tend to be familial, and she was definitely predisposed. Her mother was an avid quilter and shared her sewing and design knowledge with Vanessa when she was just a little girl. Thanks to her mom, Vanessa became a full blown quilt addict by the time she was sixteen years old.
