A former flight instructor, Ellen didn’t try her hand at art quilting until her forties. After learning the basics, she quickly began to experiment, and over the course of years, developed her own fabric collage technique. Now using her teaching skills at a lower altitude, she teaches online and in person, as well as via her episodes on Quilting Arts. Ellen has also written two eBooks and several articles.
Her classes are perfect for traditional quilters who want to try art quilts, but are looking for direction. In some classes the students learn a technique, such as Double Reverse Applique. But most cover an artistic concept, such as color or design. Some of these actually have “artistic courage” included in the supply list! Ellen thinks these are the absolute best classes, because her students learn so much.
Please let Ellen know that you found her on The Quilters Calendar!
