| Instructor Bio: | I've been quilting since 1989. My interest in quilting began when I started seeing beautiful vintage quilts featured in home décor and decided I wanted one for my own home. Since I had been sewing for years, I thought, "Why not make one myself?" That decision sparked a lifelong passion. Over the years, I've enjoyed teaching quilting classes, including several years at Thimble Creek in Walnut Creek. I'm excited to be returning to the classroom and sharing my love of quilting at The Cotton Patch. I enjoy many different quilting styles. While my heart leans toward traditional quilts, I appreciate modern designs just as much. I especially love traditional hand quilting, appliqué, piecing, and selected foundation paper-piecing techniques. Fun fact: The very first quilt I made—37 years ago—was so bad that I gave it to my dog! |
