| | Background: I was trained and worked for 17 years as a nutritionist involved in teaching and technical writing. The skills aquired in my early career I now apply to my interest as a Fiber arts instructor. I live in beautiful northeast Tennessee and offer classes in the surrounding region of NE Tennessee, SW Virginia, and western North Carolina. Quilting Experience: I have been quilting since 1979 and began teaching quilting in 1999. My classes are offered at local quilt shops and regional quilt guilds. I have been a regular instructor at Quiltfest, a premier three day quilting event sponsored by Tennessee Quilts in Jonesborough, TN . We have an enthusiastic quilting community where I live in north east Tennesse. I am active in several area guilds, the American Quilters Society, and regularly participate in regional and national quilt shows. It is important to keep abreast of new techniques and ideas. I am committed to staying informed and experimenting with new ideas to share with my classes
My Fiber arts philosophy! Fiber arts, especially the design process, stimulate the mind. Quilters are intelligent people. We want to be intrigued and not bored, excited but not exhausted. Often the little details are what make a design one we’ll really enjoy. Of course, depending on experience, each quilter can be intrigued and excited by different levels of complexity. I conduct workshops for the beginner through advanced fiber artist. By building a strong foundations of varied techniques, skillfully executed, we can all become "Moore Creative". Find what excites you, then pursue it!
