Don’t forget Paula Reid will be here in a few short weeks and we are very excited to have her teaching at BOTH of our locations. If you have forgotten to sign up for the class there is still time and we do have 4 spots left in Richmond. Click HERE for all the details.
Paula made her first quilt in April 1990, three weeks after attending the Glendale (CA) Quilt Show with her best friend, Mary Ponce. She taught her first machine piecing class two years later, but found that her heart was captured by the quilting process. Machine quilting on her first Bernina machine was her very favorite way to spend time. In 1993, Paula opened her machine quilting business, utilizing the skills she had developed working on her own quilts. Since the day that she made her very first quilt, she has quilted over 1,400 quilts, all on her regular home machines. Of these, half were queen size, 25% king size and the other 25% various smaller sizes. The largest quilt she has ever “fluffed and stuffed” was 112” x 128”! “Fluff and Stuff” is what Paula calls her method for moving large quilts through a home machine. She began teaching workshops on her techniques in the SoCal region in 1993, expanding to national teaching a few years later when appearances on “Simply Quilts” brought her to the attention of a larger audience. Now spending weeks at a time on the road, she has decided that nothing is more fun than sharing ideas with the quilters she meets on her travels.
