\t\t\t\t\"\"<\/a>\nand 5601C\u00a0 Fabulous Trapunto Wallhanging on Friday and Saturday\"\"<\/a>\nCindy Seitz-Krug specializes in using a home sewing machine for her heirloom quilting. She owes her love of quilting to her mother. When she was 28 years old, Cindy and her mom took a beginning quilting class, taught by Jenny Carr-Kinney, at the community college in Ventura, California. After that class, Cindy says, \u201cI was completely hooked on quilting.\u201d Unfortunately, today, Cindy\u2019s mom suffers from Alzheimer\u2019s and doesn\u2019t remember that she \u201cused to be quite the quilter.\u201d Luckily for Cindy, both of her half-brothers\u2019 wives quilt, so she is still able to quilt with some family.\"\"<\/a>\nAn author and award-winning quilter, Cindy won $1,500.00 for Excellence In Machine Quilting at Road 2017 for her quilt, Blush. A wholecloth quilt, Cindy said that her biggest challenge was finding \u201cjust the right balance of larger motifs that will dazzle, and subtle but beautiful backgrounds to make the main motifs pop, and also make the viewer delight in the detail.\u201d\"\"<\/a>\nCindy says she gets inspiration for her quilts from quilt shows.\u00a0 \u201cSeeing all those amazing quilts gets my wheels churning and gets me excited to create something beautiful of my own,\u201d shared Cindy. She has also taken quilt classes from three different instructors that have had an impact on her quilting technique: Diane Gaudynski <\/a>for Machine Quilting; Sally Collins<\/a> for Piecing; and Elly Sienkiewicz<\/a> for Applique.\nWhat is the one quilting tool that Cindy can\u2019t live without? \u201cWell, I\u2019d have to say a small, sharp pair of scissors, and a thimble (two tools).\u00a0 And of course, my BERNINA.\u201d\nCindy\u2019s best quilting tip is to persevere if you really want to be able to do something.\u00a0 \u201cWhen people tell me, \u2018I could never quilt like that!\u2019, I say, \u2018Yes you can; it just depends on how badly you want to do it.\u00a0 If you want it badly enough, you can!\u2019\nWhat does Cindy like best about teaching? \u201cI love when my students tell me that my classes are the best they\u2019ve ever taken!\u00a0 And amazingly, I hear that a lot.\u00a0 It makes me puff up with pride!\u201d\nCindy hopes that after her students leave her classes that \u201cthey will feel empowered and confident in their ability to quilt their own quilts beautifully.\u201d\nIn addition to her quilting, Cindy enjoys hunting and fishing in the Rocky Mountains. She holds a Bachelor of Science degree from Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo, in Environmental and Systematic Biology, with a concentration in Fisheries Biology. For more than 20 years, Cindy and her husband owned their own aquaculture facility in Bakersfield, CA, raising catfish for sale to grocers and restaurants. They recently sold their fish farms and relocated to the White Mountains of Arizona.\nTo learn more about Cindy, please visit her website, Quintessential Quilting<\/a>.\"\"<\/a>]]>\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
