SFMQG Agenda 4-29-23

Shannon is a modern quilt pattern designer and teacher with infectious enthusiasm for the art of quilting. She co-organized the second annual #30daysofimprovqal – bringing together hundreds of quilters for a free exploration of improv quilting the past two Augusts. I hope she’s doing it again! Shannon is from Montreal. She makes quilted coats and pillows if anyone wants to learn how. Her website offers tutorials and patterns. She coordinates Quiltalongs and offers suggestions for tools and notions. Shannon calls herself an accidental quilter, and she’s been doing it since 2015.
