My favorite Longarm Quilt Teachers:
It has been my privilege to attend and host workshops with national longarm quilting teachers. Their influence, as well as other gifted teachers who have published training books and DVD's, have been a positive influence in developing my skill and "style" as a longarm quilter.
Special thanks to the following individuals for shaping my career
Jamie Wallen has influenced my quilting more than any other teacher. His talent is overshadowed only by his generosity and kindness. I am blessed to have attended his workshops (Summer 2006) as well as hosted workshops with Jamie in my studio Spring 2008. Visit his website to view his quilts and order his DVDs ~ awesome talent!
Renae Haddadin is simply amazing. I loved my workshop with her in the Fall of 2006 as she shared her talent and tools. Visit her website to view her award winning creations and her DVDs.
Sherry Rogers-Harrison is the queen of formal feathers. Her award winning quilt, Tribal Fusion, was inspired during the Fall 2007 workshops held in my studio by fellow (celebrity) class member Tom Russell. Visit her website to view this fabulous work of art and to order her books and rulers.
My Spiritual Pick-Me-Ups:
Calvary Chapel Houston. For some awesome Bible teaching visit the website and download the podcasts. I listen to Pastor Ron while I quilt. His wife, Kym, has recently published a Women's Bible Study.
