Instructor: Linda Hagen
Instructor Bio: I am Linda Hagen, a member of the Olathe Quilters Guild since 2015. I started quilting in 1978 and have witnessed many changes over the years, all of which have been for the better. I'm a bit of a jack of all trades. I'm always ready to try something new. Every time I think this is my favorite, something better comes along. I love to piece, and foundation paper piece. I also do a lot of hand embroidery, like twilling. Machine embroidery is always fun, and of course, I love my AccuQuilt. I have been an educator at Quilters HQ for one year and have enjoyed seeing my students progress. I feel very blessed to live in an area with such a variety of projects available.
