Everyone has something they are really good at, be it sports, cooking, games, decorating, etc. Joan happens to be very good at making quilts, and appliqué in particular. Joan has been making quilts for many years. Her first quilt, made during college in 1972, was of polyester double knit remnants from her Grandma’s scrap bag. Joan is now a scrap quilter 50 years on! Joan is a member of the American Quilt Study Group, and enjoys studying antique quilts and women’s history associated with quilt making. Joan’s favorite techniques are handwork - appliqué, piecing and quilting. She is also skilled with the sewing machine, and does both machine and handwork.
