Willow Tree Carries Donna Sharp

What makes Donna Sharp bags so special?

Beautiful designs, quality handcrafting and attention to detail are their trademarks.

A Kentucky native and 5th generation quilter, Donna Sharp selects her own fabrics and applies her unique gift for color and design to this traditional American art form, making each quilt, handbag and accessory a stunning success.

Donna Sharp items feature twice the normal stitch rate of hand-quilted pieces, adding strength, beauty and value to each item. Superior quality fabrics showcase unique colors and textures blending traditional favorites with innovative styles.

From small piecing to intricately detailed borders, Donna’s gift for design is evident every step of the way. Donna Sharp quilted items are true heirloom quality from start to finish.

An added bonus is that they are less expensive than some well-known competitors!
