A Quilt Guild based in Rutland, Vermont, with members from surrounding towns and counties.

Debby Brown--"I began a public design experiment starting with a simple quilt (three pieces of fabric) and machine quilting in one color of thread.   Once that first quilt was done, I saw one area that I wanted to change so I pieced another simple quilt and quilted it again.  Then I saw another area that I wanted to change... I loved every minute of this project and learned so much about the evolution of design.  This lecture chronicles the progression of small changes that ended with a spectacular result."

Debby Brown has been a Handi Quilter educator since 2005 and has inspired quilters all around the globe. In addition to teaching at retail shop events and guilds, Debby teaches at major quilt shows nationally and internationally, including International Quilt Festival (Houston), Australasian Quilt Convention (AQC), International Quilt Show Dubai, and American Quilters Society (Lancaster, Phoenix). She recently filmed a series of DVDs about sit-down machine quilting featuring the HQ Sweet Sixteen®. Debby also teaches machine quilting classes at www.craftsy.com.

Since Debby began quilting in 1986, she has completed several thousand quilts for herself and others. When not busy teaching, she is constantly creating in her studio in upstate New York. She and her husband were just promoted to “grandma and grandpa” and are very enthusiastic about their new roles
