3 INSTRUCTORS BIOGRAPHIES Merry May of Tuckahoe, NJ, began making small quilted items for family and friends in the mid-1970s, not knowing of any quilters in her ancestry at the time. She decided that if she was ever to own a quilt, she would have to make it herself. Since her humble beginnings (which she attributes to beginner s luck ), Merry has developed a reputation for excellence in teaching quiltmaking, as well as in quilt history, and professional development. She has traveled throughout the East Coast of the US presenting lectures, appraisals and workshops for quilt guilds and quilt shops since Merry is a founding member and past President of the State Quilt Guild of NJ. Merry is also a past president of Tri-State Quiltmaking Teachers (now the Quilt Professionals Network). In 2002, 2003, 2006 & 2008 she taught at the Vermont Quilt Festival, and also for Brother International in She was nominated by one of her many students for Professional Quilter magazine s 2003 and 2008 Teacher of the Year Award. Merry s web page is at: Lorraine Fenstermacher, of Pleasant Mount, PA, started qulting in 1989 and has been expanding her horizons ever since. She has been quilting professionally for 16 years, during which time she has won two awards for machine quilting. She has taught professionally at Calico N Cotton in Ocean City, NJ, Strobel s Sewing Center in Myerstown, PA, and at Jo-Ann s Fabric in Mays Landing, NJ. She is a Founding Member of the State Quilt Guild of New Jersey, and holds memberships in the following Guilds: Pleasant Mount Quilters, South Shore Stitchers, AQS, NQA and QPN (Quilt Professionals Network). Lorraine is currently working on achieving certification as a quilt teacher through the NQA. Gail McConnell & Mary Rann - Gail lives in Hammonton, NJ, and Mary (Gail s mom) lives in Marmora, NJ. They are both Certified Instructors for The Cotton Theory, but they are both just getting started on their quilting careers. We think you will find them delightful and very talented! QUESTIONS?

4 SKILL LEVEL DEFINITIONS Below you will find some definitions for skill levels as mentioned in our list of workshops. Please note that these are our definitions. Other interpretations may vary. All - just what it sounds like... everyone is welcome, including non-sewers! Beginner - someone who is familiar with sewing on a sewing machine, but has never done any quilting projects. Confident Beginner - someone who is familiar with basic rotary cutting techniques and simple appliqué. Intermediate - able to at least complete a wall hanging on their own; is comfortable using rotary cutting techniques, but can also use templates; has had some practice with appliqué methods; knows how to sew set-in seams, curved seams, and mitered corners. Advanced - is ready for more challenging projects, which may include color and design, drafting original patterns, or being able to tackle a project based on an idea, rather than a specific process. This would be someone who is very experienced in constructing and finishing a variety of quilts.
