Racing Fingers Quilt Guild General Meeting

Patricia Hellenbrand is a teacher, quilter, creator, and pattern writer. She is coming to us from Lodi, Wisconsin, which is along the beautiful Wisconsin River Valley. We are excited to have her back (after over 3 years) for a lecture and a workshop. The workshop will be Tuesday morning, Nov 10. Click here for more info!

In 2006, she started writing quilt patterns under the name Creek Side Stitches, which is a pattern company dedicated to promoting the art of quilting. Many of the patterns use precuts such as Layer Cakes, Charm squares, and Mini Charm squares.

Patti has been quilting for more than 35 years; she took her first quilting class through the local Technical College back in the 70s. She put quilting on the back burner to raise 3 beautiful daughters but kept up with sewing by making clothes and items for local craft shows.  In the late 1990s, she got back into quilting and has not stopped since.
