Let me introduce you to Kelly Smith aka "The Red Headed Quilter"

Kelly Smith is the author of Open Your Heart with Quilting: MasteringLifeThrough Love of the Patches (Dreamtime Publishing 2008). The book helps readers uncover new aspects of an already enjoyable pastime, and helps novice quilters understand that quilting is an attainable hobby."Quilting helps you connect with your family and your community and carry on traditions of the past," Kelly says. "Quilting can help you heal from illness or grief, explore your creativity, and deepen your spiritual connection to the universe."

She is the National Quilting Examiner for Examiner.com, where she writes about classes, retreats, tools, techniques, and inspiration. She also reviews new books and interviews quilters. In November 2008, Kelly had an article, Let's Play, published in Quilter's Home magazine.

Currently Teaching:

Kelly will be teaching a wonderful Sampler quilt project which is expected to release in early March.  I can not tell you much more about the class yet, but will keep you posted as I get more information.  I was so excited to have her on board as one of our teachers that I just had to tell you about her even if her class isn't quite ready for public viewing.

Be sure to check this page regularly for updates on when this class will open.
