| Instructor: | Amy Pressly |
| Instructor Bio: | Hello, my name is Amy, and I have been a crafter all my life. I grew up in a family of quilters and remember fondly my grandmother and her sisters hand quilting. I started quilting about nine years ago when my daughter was expecting our first grandchild. After one quilt, I was hooked. I am a retired educator who taught secondary mathematics for eight years and school administration for 26 years. I retired in 2022 so I could have more time to craft and spend time with my family. I love being able to use my teaching skills to help people learn to quilt. I can’t wait to get you hooked, too! |
