A little bit more about Chris:

Chris Dahl lives in the Midwest state of Illinois, USA.. Has been married for 22 years and has 3 children..  Sewing has been a passion of Chris’ since she was a child in her first sewing class ☺

Here is a description of Chris’s Quilting skills,  knowledge and tutoring experience in her own words:-

Some of the techniques and styles of quilting I have worked with include: Hand piecing, paper piecing and machine piecing. I have done needle turn, and raw edge appliqué. I have done machine quilting on domestic machines, and mid arm machines. I also enjoy hand quilting with or without a hoop (known as lap quilting). I like working with traditional patterns, and especially enjoy designing my own patterns. Most recently I have been exploring surface embellishments.

I have taught many classes over the years. I have worked with students as young as 7 though adults. There have been large groups, small groups and private lessons taught by me. These classes have been taught at various locations, including quilt shops, schools, community centres, and private homes.  Although most of my skills are self-taught, I have attended many classes over the years, and will continue to do so. There is always more to learn, and I enjoy seeing how others approach quilting. There seems to be one common thread among quilters and that is to learn and to share what they know. I am no exception. This is what has brought me to start teaching, my desire to share what I know, and to learn from my students.
