Getting to Know Heidi Pridemore<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Heidi Pridemore is a creator. Art was her first passion; she went to college for Industrial Design (specifically, Product Development).  Heidi didn\u2019t learn to sew until she was 29. She recalls, \u201cOnce I made my first quilt, I was so excited to create something that was beautiful and useful.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

It didn\u2019t take long being in the quilting space that Heidi realized there was a whole industry that needed designs to promote and sell their fabric collections. She started The Whimsical Workshop Design Studio to fill that niche. After 20 years, The Whimsical Workshop has designed and made 1000\u2019s of quilts and patterns<\/strong> for the quilting industry as free projects, marketing and for magazines and books.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where Designing Takes Place<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Heidi\u2019s Design Studio is in her home which really came in handy in today\u2019s Coronavirus climate. There is an office that Heidi shares with her husband (and partner) as well as a cutting and shipping area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Heidi says that \u201cthe jewel\u201d of it all is her sewing room, which was once the formal living room of the house.  \u201cI do most of the design work from the office and the sewing room has become a studio for videos over this past year. I am very lucky to have so much space.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Favorite design tools in Heidi\u2019s creative space include Heidi\u2019s Bernina sewing machine, her laptop, her Creative Grids Ruler Collection and the newest addition, a Cricut maker that she uses to cut most of company\u2019s appliques.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Teaching During Road@Home May<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A teacher for over 20 years, Heidi spent the Coronavirus pause learning everything she could about teaching virtually, how to create videos and editing with Premier Pro. She feels that her biggest accomplishment<\/strong> during this time has been \u201cbuilding our YouTube Channel<\/a> from 100 followers to over a 1000 followers in 9 months.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For her Road@Home May classes, Heidi Pridemore will be utilizing an overhead camera set up \u201cwhich is so much better to watch the tutorials for the class.\u201d She feels that this is a beneficial way to engage with her students if she can\u2019t do it in person.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meeting all the new students and sharing with them is what Heidi Pridemore is most looking forward to at Road@Home May. She says, \u201cI learn as much from each student and I hope they are learning from me.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
