| Instructor Bio: | My name is Rhoda Johnson and I have been sewing since I was 7 years old! Let’s just say I was born the day before John F Kennedy was assassinated so you can do the math. I have sewn just about everything you can think of; from baby clothes, dress shirts, home decor, suits, my wedding dress and many, many other things. I love sewing. When I was younger, my mom called me “The fastest Needle in the West!” ( we lived in El Paso). I started quilting about 10 years ago and did it on my domestic machine. Then I bought a Handiquilter. A few years later I upgraded to a 12’ foot frame, (because I can’t do little things). Everything I did was all free motion. This year I got a pro stitcher added to the machine and now I can put something on the frame and sew another top together while it's going. I kinda like that. So come join me for a class anytime. I also teach the featherweight maintenance class at True Southern Charm. I am also a member of our local Quilts of Valor chapter, Liberty Piecemakers. |
