Royal Caribbean’s Symphony of the Seas

I have been sewing since a very young girl and found my true passion in the world of quilting in 2007. I took many lessons, learned the hard way: made lots of mistakes, had uneven seams, wonky and uneven blocks, forced the blocks together, and still I have progressed. I love to teach others, after all, since I have made all the mistakes no one else has to. My teaching goals are simple: to let students learn a technique and find their way out of an “ooops” moment. There is nothing that can’t be fixed, and I like to see my students having a stress free, fun-filled time and all the while finishing with a positive experience.

I began teaching quilting in 2009 while working at a quilt shop in Green Valley, AZ. I enjoyed that experience as it forced me to learn even more techniques than I wanted to learn. I have been privileged to speak and teach at several guilds in Arizona, California and Utah – as well as on cruise ships.

The Project: Hattie’s Star Path

I have made quilts for most members of my family- except for my Grandparents who all were deceased before my 18th birthday.

Hattie Pearl Stover DuVall is my Maternal Grandmother. When AccuQuilt came out with the Die entitled Hattie’s Choice I had to make this quilt for my personal Granny Hattie. She was born in the very early 1900’s in Arkansas where she lived until 1941. I felt obligated when I found that Hattie’s choice was an actual quilt pattern and decided that this would be her gift for my memory of this much loved Grandmother.

I think you will enjoy stitching this quilt top and I am excited to be able to share it with you.
