A window next to the path leading to Adrienne Goodell’s front door provides a glimpse into her world, meshing the present and past in the studio where she creates wearable pieces for her business Hi Bucky Handmade. She can look out the window as she sits at the line of modern sewing machines, shelves and a rack filled with stacks of neatly folded quilts, blankets and fabrics half a century old at her back. Goodell now shares the house in a quiet neighborhood south of Bozeman with her husband, Brett, and their 2-year-old son. But it is also her childhood home.

Goodell, nee Cash, grew up watching her mother, Katie, at a sewing machine piecing together quilts. By the time she was 8 years old, she had learned the basics of the machine and had started stitching her own small projects.

“My mom does gorgeous art quilts, but she’s very good at the geometric straight lines,” Goodell said. “I was never going to be a quilter, but clothes I’ve just always done.”
