Discussion and Book Signing with Designer/Author Sheila Gray

A conversation with designer, author, and FIT alum Sheila Gray.

Grace Sewn In: A Memoir is Sheila Gray's intimate and inspiring story of how God stitched beauty out of the broken places in her life. From her roots in the small towns of Virginia to her journey as a creative woman navigating love, loss, faith, and purpose, Sheila weaves together memories of strength, humor, and healing.

Told in her warm, conversational voice, this memoir feels like sitting with a trusted friend over coffee, full of laughter, lessons, and God's fingerprints on every page. She invites readers to walk beside her through childhood challenges, family legacies, and the pain of absence, all the way to the discovery of divine grace that mended what life tried to tear apart.

It's not just a story about survival - it's about transformation, learning that rejection can birth resilience, that pain can become purpose, and that grace, once stitched in, can never be torn out.
