Instructor Bio: | At the age of nine, I began a lifelong love of quilting while spending a week in a hunting cabin in Maine (with my parents, and without electricity). I quickly came to enjoy hand piecing, machine piecing, paper piecing, applique, hand quilting, machine quilting, and longarm quilting. By 2009, I realized that I needed to begin scrap quilting in sheer self-defense, before the fabric took over my studio completely. As I found ways to use up the scraps that were a by-product of my voracious quilting hobby, I developed a unique balance of chaos and order within scrap quilts. I found my own "quilting voice" and began to look for ways to streamline the way I dealt with scraps in order to facilitate it. My system for cutting, storing, and using scraps evolved over the course of several years. Each iteration of the system moved towards greater flexibility, creativity, and productivity. Ultimately, ScrapStashtic Quilts grew into an adaptable, easy to implement, appealing and compact system that can support the needs of any sewing room. |
