Hello everyone. My name is Laurel. I am a quilter, longarm quilter and teacher. I teach second graders by day and quilters by night (and on the weekends). I am married to the greatest man in the world as he is building a new studio for me at our new property.

I made my first quilt when I was about 9 years old and was immediately hooked.
