Crazy Busy Bees - Meredith Harris
Instructor Contact: Meredith@davesbernina.com
Class Description: This is a very cute Flower and Bee quilt made by One Sister Designs. If you haven't made a stack turning quilt then this is a fun new thing for you to try. If you have, then this is a very fun quilt to make. This type of quilt was my first quilt I ever made and I had so much fun that I haven't stopped quilting for the past 20 years. Love picking out the fabrics , cutting then turning the stacks to see the fun designs that come up. We will learn that all in class. Can't wait to get started!

Instructor bio:
I can’t even remember when I actually started sewing. I watched my mother sew everything from clothing to crafts and as I grew up under a quilt being tied by my mother and grandmother. So, I never questioned that I couldn’t do the same. I received my first sewing machine 40 years ago and I haven’t stopped sewing for my own kids, grandkids and many others, including a professional porcelain doll maker. I continued to explore with crafting and quilting and found that it is something I have always loved. I moved to St George where I started working with Dave’s Bernina for the past 10 years and I have found how much I really love quilting, appliqueing, embroidering, crafting, and teaching what I love to do. I currently continue to be a part of the Dave’s Bernina family and doing what I love most.
