He started working in his mother’s quilt shop – “The Cotton Ball” in Morro Bay, CA. He became a quilter shortly after they became Pfaff sewing machine dealers.

Eha, Nancy
Beading
NANCY EHA RETURNING TO THE GLENDALE QUILT SHOW
www.beadcreative.com
Nancy’s classes were a sell out at the 2009 show, in fact
had waiting lists, so we asked her to return for our 2010 show. Nancy
Eha is in high demand as an instructor, she makes learning fun,
encourages confidence in students of all skill levels, and makes
the seemingly complex easy to understand via small teachable steps. Students
that took her classes loved Nancy’s style as an instructor
and feel they learned so much that they have said they would take
her class again. That is a strong endorsement for any teacher!
Nancy will be offering her Crazy Beading class again. This class had a
waiting list 30 days after registration opened. She will also teach
one other all day class and 2 half-day classes on beading at our show. Sign
up early. Don’t wait or you will lose your opportunity to add a new
dimension to your quilts!

Hargrave, Harriet
harriethargrave.com
Harriet comes from a family of quilters. Her mother tried to teach her to hand quilt in the early ‘70s, but to no avail. Harriet mastered machine embroidery in the mid-1970s, and adapted machine quilting from there. She was machine quilting when the local quilt guilds thought machine piecing was not kosher, let alone machine quilting! In 1983, Harriet’s antique reproduction pieces were recognized for how hand quilted they appeared. In 1994 a panel of her peers chose Harriet as one of the 88 Leaders of the Quilt World and in 2006 was nominated for Professional Quilter’s Teacher of the Year. Harriet is a master at teaching students “how to learn to machine quilt”.

Roberta studied antique scrap quilts for fabric usage and Amish quilts for color. Her horizons widened as she discovered fabrics from Africa, Japan and Australia. Studying African-American quilts taught her how to build a quilt in a new way. In 1994 she was recognized as one of the 88 most influential quiltmakers in the world and in 2000 received the Silver Star Award by the International Quilt Association.
