Instructor Bio:  Karol Pittsenberger has been sewing since elementary school – learning from her mother and two older sisters. Starting with doll clothes, then moving on to make her own clothes and then wedding dresses for friends!  At some point, she switched to pillows, drapes, and home décor. In 2015, before leaving on a cruise, a quilting friend asked her to pick up interesting patterns and fabric from quilt shops in Alaska.  She obliged by getting one for her friend, and one for herself!  That was it, she fell in love with the fabrics and designs but didn’t know how to put them together until she took a quilting class at Stitcher’s Quest. This is a 7-week class. There is a $50 class fee.
