I
have sewn all my life! Well, at least since I was 8 anyway. I
was taught to sew by my Mother and by my 4-H instructor. I made
most of my own clothes as a young adult and found my way into
professional dressmaking and costuming in college. I continue
to do occasional commission work, especially bridal and formal
wear, but deep down I am a quilter at heart. I began quilting
in 1997 shortly after defending my doctoral dissertation. I
wanted a creative outlet that did not include curved seams!
When a friend introduced me to quilting I was hooked.
Now
I teach a wide variety of quilt classes at my local quilt shop,
specializing in beginning quilting projects, EQ6 design software
for quilters, Color Confidence for quilters, machine appliqué,
and original tote bags. In addition to teaching, I also lecture
throughout the Midwest at guilds and conferences. My most
popular lectures are EQ6, Color for Quilters, Online Quilt
Swapping, Hexagon and Beyond Quilts, and Communication for
Professional Quilters.
I
have numerous workshops available for guilds, in addition to my
regular classes. Just call and ask and I can fit a lecture to
the needs of your guild. As a college speech teacher for 30
years, I am happy to come to speak with your guild.
Two
years ago I started my own pattern company -- Morning Glory
Designs -- on the suggestion of my local quilt shop owners who
wanted some smaller table runner size quilts with simple
appliqué. The line of 12 flower of the month began my first
series of 12 patterns, Charming Botanicals. There are so many
new projects, quilt and patterns in the works that I am not sure
I will get them all done in time for Christmas. . . this year!
LOL
Thanks again for purchasing one of my products. Please let me
know if I can ever be of service to you.
Thanks, Reeze L. Hanson
