Welcome 👋
Hello, I'm Antonia! The creator, artist, writer, and owner behind Herb Jones Designs. I've always had a passion for making. Whether it be fabric, paper, wood, botanical, or food. Any day that I get to spend crafting something new makes me feel like the luckiest girl in the world.
Focus on Fiber
I made my first quilt when I was 19. Since then I've sewn more projects than I can remember. I love that no matter how much I learn and design, there is always more out there to investigate and share! I started this blog and online storefront as a new seam in my sewing journey (pun intended). It fills me with joy and gratitude to be able share and help build quilted projects and memories.
Why the name?
I wanted to pay tribute to my family, who were designing and creating long before I came around. I combined their names to represent my brand. They were painters, musicians, gardeners, sailers, seamstresses, travelers, hat makers, artists, teachers, cooks, and so much more. I do my best to honor all they created, enjoyed and how hard they worked.

My "Day" Job
I spend my mornings working at a local quilt shop. I find so much support and inspiration there every day!
After the shop, I get my shifts in at my neighborhood bar. We're constantly learning about and sharing wine and craft cocktails.
When I'm not working
You'll Find Me
Tending to my plants, making coffee, painting, planning trips, working on my house, looking for trails, scrapbooking, or enjoying a good book.
