It’s no mystery that this Black Ops/CIA thrillers reading quilt teacher, Linda Hahn, has always been fascinated with the New York Beauty Block. Part of the reason she was attracted to the New York Beauty Block was that she was born in Staten Island, New York.  She credits this for why she was drawn to taking “many classes for it and was unsuccessful.” Linda usually ended up with puckers, cut off points and pieces not fitting together (with some cussing thrown in). It was one of these mistakes that led to the development of Linda’s own New York Beauty Block technique which alleviated all those past frustrations. Linda started her quilting journey in 1993 and began quilt teaching in her own shop in 1994. She likes the design and piecing process best and isn’t too fond of binding. Linda has recently discovered that she also enjoys English Paper Piecing. “Organized Chaos” is how Linda describes her home quilt space. “We recently moved to Florida from New Jersey.  In New Jersey I had the whole lower half of a bi-level home and a portion of the garage.  I had a separate room for my long arm, office and studio (that I shared with my daughter).  The garage warehoused packaged batting and product and my husband’s office for kitting and shipping.  I’ve now had to downsize to having most in one room.  I took over the master bedroom in the new house and that houses my new Innova, my sewing desk, a Sew Ezi table set up with a second machine, recliner and ironing board.  The walk in closet in the master bath houses my fabric, thread, and everything else.   We use half of the garage for my husband’s office and product storage.” Coming to Ontario, California from Palm Bay, Florida (about 175 miles north of Miami), Linda is really looking forward to getting her first In-N-Out Burger!!! What does Linda hope for all her students taking her classes? Empowerment and confidence.  As Linda shares, “You can always learn SOMETHING from each class you take.  A little bit of me, a little bit of another, and so forth, help you to develop your own style.” Linda’s Wednesday and Thursday Road 2019 classes feature her New York Beauty Block technique. She loves watching the students’ faces when they make their final trim for the New York Beauty Block and they see that they actually were able to make a perfect block! Not only is Linda Hahn qualified to teach quilt classes, she is also a licensed Zumba ® instructor. Perhaps during classroom breaks, Linda might have her class break out in some Zumba ® moves!!
