ABOUT THE PRESENTER

After 30 years working as a stylist and salon owner he retired, and then had the time to explore new creative outlets. He bought a sewing machine, and quilting quickly became his passion and his community. His thread of choice is Aurifil 50 weight, and he uses this in all of his quilting. In 2017, He joined the Toronto Modern Quilt Guild to expand his quilting experience, and in 2018 he taught quilting at a local sewing school in Toronto.  His students describe him as being positive, caring, knowledgeable and well-organized, but most of all an incredibly patient teacher.
