ABOUT THE INSTRUCTOR

Kathy McCarty, award winning quilter, began quilting, as a hand quilter, in 1986. Her enthusiasm for the craft produced more unfinished tops than completed ones, and she quickly turned to machine quilting to get those tops completed.

With over 20 years quilting experience, Kathy is eager to share her knowledge of machine quilting and piecing.
