"Where comfort is always a perfect gift."

Kecia also has a sister who is a seamstress that designs and makes clothing. Kecia, nor her sister, were told of their rich lineage in quilting and sewing until Kecia had demonstrated she had developed the skill on her own. The quilting art spans five generations of both of Kecia’s grandparents on her mother’s side of the family  –  back to her great-grandmother’s great, great grandmother – as well as  sisters, nieces, aunts and cousins.

For most customer orders, they are special mementos that may provide comfort to a graduate going away to college during their first extended separation from their mother. This is how she came up with the business name and tag line:  ”Umi’s Comfort:  Where comfort is always a perfect gift.”

​

Keeping it true to the themes of many of her designs and the foundation of Umi's Comfort, Kecia continues to keep family in the thread of her business. Her sons have worked with Umi's Comfort in the areas of design, technology and sales.
