Julie Pieri

Our featured designer this month is Julie Pieri a relative newcomer to the quilting and pattern making scene, with an impressive garment-making background.  Julie’s refreshing quilt designs are a wonderful balance of crisp design and bold fabrics.  It is our hope that you are inspired to recreate Summer Dance, a beautiful pattern she created for Fairfield using Nature-Fil™ Bamboo batting.

Julie has a variety of interests that extend beyond quilting to motorcycling, cooking and the companionship of her three dogs.  Her dedication to sewing arts is evident in The Sewing Gazette, a free monthly e-newsletter that is a must-read for sewers of all styles and skill levels.  To subscribe, go to www.sewinggazette.com.
