Bio

Jennifer is a quilter and teacher. She loves everything about quilting; the feel of the fabric, watching the little pieces turn into beautiful quilts, but most of all, she loves the texture. Creating scrappy designs and using up stash are two of her favorite parts of quilting. Jennifer has fallen in love with Kawandi quilting and spends much of her time hand stitching them.

Her quilting has won awards at the local and national level. Several magazines have featured her work, and she has students from all around the world.
