Deborah Kalenty
I'm an avid quilter for over 30 years (started in 1989). I just LOVE seeing what I can accomplish after cutting up fabric and sewing it back together--smile!! I opened my online quilt store in 2005---so 16 years and still going strong.
I'm a Certified Instructor for Studio 180 Design (Deb Tucker Tools). These tools brought my quilting to a whole new level and I love showing students how to use them! Your quilting will be so much more precise and you will be able to make 'more difficult' quilts with ease!
Teaching is so rewarding---watching a student 'light up' when they see what they can accomplish--is simply magic to my ears!
If you've always wanted to learn how to quilt, but were afraid, or didn't know where to start, JOIN ME for a class! I promise you will learn and have fun at the same time.
Warning: Quilting becomes an obsession: LOL...thus the name of my store: www.QuiltersObsession.com "We're Nuts About Bolts!"
