I have always been a teacher. I can remember rounding up the younger kids on Swearingen Rd on Marland Heights in Weirton, WV between first and second grade and holding school during the summer. I was a teacher assistant all through college and then became a high school teacher. When I retired from my teaching career I began teaching quilting (piecing and applique) classes at a local quilt shop. Then I purchased a longarm quilting machine and began quilting for myself and others and last year began teaching others longarm quilting techniques. Today I held my first Quilting with Karen in the Studio semi-private longarm class – four students all learning Advanced Feather Techniques. We had an absolutely fantastic time and they were wonderful students.
Here is a gallery of their accomplishments today………..they went from novice to advanced in no time and will now have the confidence to offer higher end custom quilting to their customers – so it is a win win win for everyone!!

This same class will be offered in a nine hour format – one full day plus one half day in Aiken on June 15 and 16 at the Aiken Historical Museum – sponsored by Aiken Quilt Shoppe – contact Nancy Clifton there to sign up. It will also be offered at the Quilters of SC 2012 Pieceable Retreat in October.
If you are interested in this class or any other longarm quilting classes contact me! A day in the studio is a wonderful day.
