| Instructor: | Lorrie Gray |
| Instructor Bio: | Lorrie has been a trainer and teacher for over two decades. As a structural engineer, all newly hired engineers came through Lorrie for their initial training for the firm. Later, several years as a high school math teacher helped Lorrie hone her ability to teach each student in the way that they learn best and with the utmost patience. She prides herself on her ability to give every student the help they need, even in a large class setting. Lorrie has also been quilting for over 20 years. She discovered Quiltworx patterns in 2005 and was immediately drawn to the floating points present in the patterns. She took her first class with Judy a year later and realized that the organization and precision of Quiltworx patterns really fed her logical, methodical side. Playing with color in Quilster and eventually Quiltworx mixer patterns gives her creative side the attention it needs too. Finally combining her passions for teaching and quilting as a Quiltworx Certified instructor was a natural career transition for Lorrie. |
