Hi, I'm Jo! I'm a quilt and fabric designer and quilting educator based in Saskatchewan, Canada.
I've been quilting for over 30 years and I have my mom to thank for it all, she's the one who taught me in high school and I never looked back.
I'm the founder of the Quilt Finishers Club, a community for quilters who have a few too many unfinished projects calling their name.
Nothing makes me happier than watching quilters cheer each other on, because quilting really is better together.
