Creating something that outlives
us is deep within our being.
Sharing my heart and soul through
designs, pattern making, and teaching
completes my creative self.

What’s in a name?
My given name is Raamin, which comes from Ancient Egyptian mythology meaning the children of the Sun God RA. The word itself was used, along with other spelling variations, as names for the children of Pharaoh that were not yet old enough to have gone through a naming ceremony.
On top of the unique name, I was 2 years old when Ramen Noodles hit the American market. So, my most common nickname is still Noodles!
The business name is a combination of the nickname and my birth year animal, the dragon. I’ve always loved all creatures mythological so symbolic inclusion was natural.

Favorite Pastimes
Sewing, Quilting, and Designing are my happy place. When not doing those I enjoy gaming with my Husband, reading, rocking out to Octane and Turbo on SiriusXM Radio (usually while sewing), all while hanging our with four-footed crazies and playing with fellow quilters!
