Shannon was
recently published in Better Homes and
Garden“Quilts &
More” spring edition magazine – January 2020, American Patchwork
and Quilting April 2021, Love of Quilting September/October 2021, and McCall’s Quilting March/April 2022. She is extremely creative, vibrant, and
enjoys the colorful world around her! She has a gift for choosing
colors, arranging patterns,
and designing quilts. She is an
engaging public speaker and has the ability to lead workshops.
She enjoys
looking at intricate quilts and then “reconstructing” the quilt in her mind to
process how it all came together. Her
husband says she has a “puzzle brain.” She also likes how quilts
are soft and comforting, or they can be used as an art piece to hang on
the wall. Shannon feels at peace when
she is quilting. All she needs to do
is take “needle to fabric”, and she is relaxed from all the stresses in life.
In 2014, she was
hired by RJR Fabrics as a sample maker which was a springboard for her
commercial work. Shannon loves the
fast-pace challenges of commercial work, and making sure patterns and
instructions are correct. In addition
to RJR Fabrics she also works for Windham Fabrics, FreeSpirit, Michael Miller, and Craftsy/Bluprint. She enjoys seeing her
work in print advertising, websites, and social media. Combining all her experience
and creative work, she has advanced into a cutting-edge pattern tester and pattern designer.
Shannon is an “on-the-go” mom who feels
privileged and honored
to be a part of the quilting world!
