ABOUT US

 Shelly Gephart is the creative force behind The Santa Suit Quilt—a Georgia-based author, maker, and holiday visionary who stitched together a tradition families can feel. As the founder and lead developer of the quilt kit and storybook experience, Shelly dreamed up the concept, led the design, and brought the product to life in retail stores across the country. With a background in storytelling, product development, and sensory branding, she blends heart and strategy to create keepsakes that last for generations. A mom of two, Shelly dedicated the book to her children and future grandchildren, infusing every page and patch with love.

Kimberly Kendrick (credited as Kimberly Morrow) is a Georgia author and mother of five whose love for Christmas storytelling helped shape The Santa Suit Quilt. As co-author, Kimberly contributed to the book’s whimsical tone and emotional heart, inspired by her own family traditions and holiday spirit. Kimberly is a proud supporter of the project and its mission to bring families together through reading, making, and memory-making.

Together, Shelly and Kimberly dreamed up a story that could be read aloud, stitched by hand, and passed down like a favorite ornament. Their dedication to their children and future grandchildren is stitched into every square—making The Santa Suit Quilt a tradition wrapped in magic.
