| Instructor Bio: | Keril Rieger is an educator, pattern writer, and an acrylic template designer. She, like most quilters, has been sewing most of her life. She began sewing in junior high school where she designed her own clothing and broadened her skill when she began quilting in her senior year. In her travels, she teaches her lifelong skill with humor, so her workshops are not only fun and educational, but you come away with lots of tips, tricks, and a real sense of accomplishment. If you are a beginner, she will walk you through the process while letting the project be totally unique to you. If you are a seasoned student, she will invite you to think outside of the box, so you have additional skills and ideas to add to your “toolbox”. Keril looks forward to meeting every group of students with a passion to guide them to a successful journey through their creative adventures. |
