Instructor Bio: | New to Florida, but not new to quilting, JoAnn is looking forward to this opportunity to teach at Cut up and Sew. First taught to sew in her teens by her best friend?s mother, sewing quickly became a passion. Back then she made her clothes then her kids clothes, her kids friends clothes, and her kids doll clothes. Later, another friend introduced her to quilting. That led to a lifelong passion for quilting and fabric collection (two different pursuits you know). She has taught at several quilt shops and is certified as both a Laura Heine Collage teacher and Quilt in a Day teacher. JoAnn, her husband and their dog Cody left family, friends and perfect weather behind and now resides in Palm Coast Florida. |
