I have been teaching quilting for 2 years now.  I come from a technical computer background and used to teach people how to use their computers and various software packages.  I also taught scrapbooking classes for over 15 years. Now I've turned my quilting and memory preservation passion into creating memory quilts for other people and teaching people how to make their own.
