Her introduction to quilting was a tied quilt given to her newborn daughter by her sister-in-law almost 40 years ago. Allison enjoys all areas of quilting but prefers simple piecing designs, so she can get to the quilting part! After quilting many large quilts on a domestic sewing machine, Allison purchased an HQ Sweet Sixteen? sit down machine which was well used for many years.She now owns an HQ Avant?? with Pro-Stitcher Premium and an HQ Amara and loves the freedom of quilting both smaller and larger projects with ease. Allison has an education degree from the University of Manitoba and many years experience teaching aquatics. She began teaching sewing and quilting while working at a sewing machine dealer in Calgary, Alberta. She has owned her own fabric store and sewing school. She now has a studio and classroom in her home and does customer quilts, as well as longarm machine rentals, and offers a variety of sewing and quilting classes. Taking great pleasure in teaching the basic and intermediate skills in all areas of quilting, Allison encourages students to go further and see what they can do on their own. She especially loves to quilt and teach feathers! Allison currently lives in Calgary, Alberta, Canada and has a very, very supportive husband, 1 daughter (and son-in-lw) and a granddaughter and grandson close by.
