Jenice Miller
Jenice has been sewing for 34 years and quilting for 4 years, but she got so hooked on quilting that she's produced dozens of quilts in a short time. She's been long-arm quilting for 3 years and is self-taught. Jenice loves machine embroidery and incorporates it in her quilts. She hopes to motivate and inspire everyone to use their imagination and creativity to produce wonderful quilts and garments. She loves to learn new things and will teach and/or inspire everyone.
Darlene Martin
Darlene not only champions our community service projects but also is our Queen of Machine Appliqué. She also works in the shop one to two days a week and always adds a smile to your day. Darlene is very good at calculating yardage and choosing color palettes for quilts. She is our senior employee and has been with the shop many years.
Midge Miller
Midge has been in the quilting industry for years. She does the mastery classes for the Bernina machines and is terrific in choosing the right colors for your quilts. You can always depend on Midge to answer all the questions you have, whether it be machine-related, technical, color combinations, hand quilting, or just about anything. She has a wealth of information about nearly everything. Even though she's not related to Jenice, she shares the same last name, and is certainly Jenice's "right-hand".

She introduces new feet and techniques for the Bernina Club and gives students the opportunity for hands-on experience in Bernina Embroidery Club.

She also teaches Beninners' Machine Quilting, and various other techniques. She and co-teacher Edie Starcher designed a great Jungle Quilt that Miriam incorporated piecing, design, and thread painting. She thoroughly enjoys working with beginners.

She also teaches our Dear Jane Sewing Circle which focuses totally on miniature blocks.

Karen Phillips-Shwallon
Karen is so creative in her design work and so patient with students. She introduces new stitches and techniques every month in her Dimensional Appliqué classes. When you meet Karen, your first impression is "what a nice Lady," and that impression only improves as you become acquainted with her. Karen is a national instructor much sought after for her original designs. She will also be teaching a unique Sampler Quilt class in the near future.
Shirley Stutz
Shirley is the epitome of a grand teacher. She has created some absolutely astounding quilts. She is often a winner at National Quilt Shows and is the author of Elegant Lone Star Quilts and is about to bring out her newest book featuring Six Point Stars.
