Sandy lives on a small farm on Cougar mountain

Sandy’s philosophy about quilting is as
important as the skills she teaches. Her goal in her workshops is for
students to enjoy the process of making a quilt as much as they expect
to enjoy the product. As a professionally trained teacher, she empowers
her students by pointing out their successes and building on them. As
a passionate quilter, she brings joy, energy, and enthusiasm to every
workshop she teaches. She truly feels the quiltmaking should be fun.
