I’m presently offering a choice of workshops, in-person and live on Zoom. For all the fun details, have a look below! I host my own workshops and I’m also available to teach these virtual and in-person workshops to your guild.
BTW, I’m a published, National & International award-winning modern quilter, designer and teacher. I love quilting and I love teaching others to quilt. My goal is innovation, my passion is creativity and my gift is having opportunities to share new techniques within the quilting community.
I bring over a decade of quilting experience to the classroom and value creating a supportive atmosphere. I have taught basic, intermediate and advanced levels. My students would describe me as knowledgeable, well organized, positive and caring, but most of all an incredibly patient teacher.
