Skill Details:
Instructor: Maryann Shovestul
Instructor Bio: I got my first quilt kit for Christmas when I was 17. At that time, I had no idea what a ¼” seam was and rotary cutters and quilting rulers were not around. It was a hot mess when I finished the quilt top, but I still love it to this day. Fast forward to today. Once my daughters were off to college, I got back into quilting. I enjoy challenging myself with different quilting techniques.
