In 1992, Barbara took a machine quilting class and was hooked on the process. She joined the local quilt guild and began taking quilt classes. It was a great outlet from her hectic professional life as a Senior Systems Analyst. After retirement, she completed her Bachelor’s degree in Sociology and Criminology. Then she began to teach quilt classes around New Mexico and Colorado finding a passion that still continues.
Barbara’s first sight of Bali Wedding Star at a Colorado quilt show sparked her interest in Judy Niemeyer’s paper piecing method because of the precision and organization. After Judy lectured and taught at her guild, Barbara began working on Amazon Star, which she entered in the Roswell quilt show and received a first place and best of show ribbon. She is delighted to be a Judy Niemeyer Certified instructor giving students the opportunity to learn the organized techniques and processes used to create these beautiful quilts.
Barbara has been teaching for 30 years for guilds and groups around New Mexico and Colorado and is currently teaching classes at the local quilt shops and quilt groups in New Mexico and Colorado.
