She was first introduced to quilting by a friend who was a hand quilter who encouraged Grace to give it a try.\u00a0 Because Grace was a sewer who preferred using a sewing machine, she wasn\u2019t all that interested in hand quilting, but she was attracted to the craft, so she decided to investigate other quilting methods and consequently caught the quilting bug.\nAnother influence with Grace\u2019s quilt design techniques was the book, Art and Inspiration<\/em> by Ruth McDowell.<\/a> Grace found this to be ironic because while she is not a piecer, (in fact, Grace does not even like piecing) but she loved Ruth\u2019s work and got started with her book.\nUltimately, Grace confides, her quilt design style is really the result of years<\/strong> of learning, experimentation, trying different techniques and reshaping them to her style. The quilt design phase is her favorite part of quilt making. Once her pattern is done, then she enjoys choosing the right textiles to execute the quilt design.\u00a0 What is her least favorite part of the quit process? She laughs when she says the quilting.\"quilt<\/a>\nA quilt teacher for the past eight years, Grace enjoys meeting and working with the people who attend her classes and seeing \u201cthe light bulb go on\u201d for her students. Grace also enjoys gourmet cooking and gardening.\nGrace will be coming to Road to California 2019 from nearby Laguna Niguel. She says that she will be solely focusing on her classes while at Road. Of her quilt design teaching, Grace shares that the reason why she teaches is \u201cbecause in all the students I meet I am sure I have inspired a good number to do things that they would not have done without learning some of my techniques.\u00a0 My techniques are totally original and developed by me so, being the only one teaching them I am hoping that they will be appealing to some students and they will go on and use the technique and even improve on them.\u201d\nTo learn more about Grace, please visit her website<\/a>.\n \n \n ]]>\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
