Quilting Sisters<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Helen Robinson and Jenny Pedigo are two of four sisters that share their love of quilting through their business, Sew Kind of Wonderful<\/em>. How did these two sisters get started in quilting?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

About 25 years ago, Helen taught herself to quilt from a Fons and Porter<\/a> book when she had to teach an after-school sewing\/quilting class to junior high students. She taught Jenny how to quilt soon after that. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Helen and Jenny\u2019s quilts have a mostly modern feel. The sisters find inspiration for their designs in everyday objects: patterns in floor tiles, weaving, nature, and also through a desire to challenge themselves to go to a different place than the usual.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sew Kind of Wonderful<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Helen and Jenny\u2019s business, Sew Kind of Wonderful<\/em>,<\/a> began with Jenny\u2019s brain child, the Quick Curve Ruler.<\/a><\/em> She wanted it to be something the sisters could share together and give them a chance to see each other more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The sisters are equally involved in the design, piecing, and quilting process.  They have a constant group text running and do lots of FaceTime sharing their ideas.  Jenny mostly manages the distributor orders and Helen handles the online store and wholesale orders. Another sister, Sherilyn Mortensen, does the blogging and trunk shows.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quick Curve Ruler<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Of course, the Quick Curve Ruler<\/a> and the QCR Mini Ruler are the sister\u2019s favorite quilting tools.  They haven\u2019t sewn a quilt without a curve in ten years because their Quick Curve Ruler made quilting fun again!<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each sister also owns their own longarm quilting machine. Their machines allow them to do the whole creative quilt process from design, fabric selection, piecing and finishing it off with the quilting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During Road to California 2022, Jenny\u2019s class, Wonder Feathers<\/em> and Helen\u2019s class, Step By Step Custom Quilting<\/em>, will be using Handi Quilter <\/a>stand-up longarm machines. Two students share a machine head, and time is split equally on the machine.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Teaching at Road 2022<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Teaching classes at the same show says Helen \u201cis the cherry on top\u201d because they get to see quilters when they have their \u2018lightbulb\u2019 moment; when the methods and processes they use click and their students fall in love with sewing curves. Helen adds that the sisters \u2018have a great time being together!  It is the best part of our business.   If you spend any amount of time with us there is way too much conversation about \u2018gluten free\u2019 and \u2018bathroom issues\u2019\u2026.LOL\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What can Helen and Jenny\u2019s students expect to get out of their classes? \u201cLots of energy, conversation, hands-on help, and uniquely different snacks,\u201d reports Helen. \u201cWe want students to enjoy a no stress approach to quilting and piecing curves.  There are not any quilt police that will knock on your door at 11 pm and tell you you did it wrong.  Enjoy the quilting process.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Besides teaching their classes, you will also find sisters Helen and Jenny, during the show in their vendor booth for Sew Kind Of Wonderful<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
