Sunburst Pattern Release

Sunburst was my first quilt to be in a magazine, and I learned so many good lessons just from submitting, making, and then having this quilt published. Because it was published in the 2016 QuiltCon magazine, which is only printed yearly, I needed to wait a full year from the date of magazine publication to have the rights revert...

I seek to change active, generous, caring creatives who want to learn to quilt or improve their quilting skills into people who approach quilting with joy. Into people who recognize that quilting creates connections and builds community. I seek to help you become excited about every step of the quilting process. To make quilts that you are proud of. Thanks for joining me. I can’t wait to see the quilts you are going to create.

Her company name, Quilting Jetgirl, is a blend of her professional histories and the tagline “Sewing at the Speed of Sound” is a nod to her work on the second privately funded (non-government) vehicle to break the sound barrier. She has been quilting for 20+ years and credits quilting with helping her feel balanced and connected to both her local hometown community and a larger global community.
