Chadley Landreth, the owner and designer  at terrace-hill is a wife, mother, daughter, sister, friend, teacher, apron maker and wanna be baker. lover of art, natural beauty, atypical children, and random kindness in all forms.  When I’m not teaching kidlets, or sewing myself into a stupor, you’ll find me at the beach, playing in the garden, baking,—or secretly fantasizing about reading a good book and taking a nap! A lifelong Californian, I live in Santa Barbara County with my husband of 29 years where life is good—messy—but good.

I grew up at the foot of the real Terrace Hill in a small college town on the California coast during the 1960s and '70s. Times were less complicated then…and a lot less flashy. I’ve been in love with sewing ever since Miss Miller taught me "the art of the perfect dart" in 8th grade. My favorite part of the creative process has to be playing with fabric. Walking into a fabric store always makes me swoon. Fabric swatches are like paint splashing across the canvas of my imagination. Nudging busy gals back to simpler times with bits of cloth and handmade goodness has become a happy endeavor for me.
