Meet HollyAnne Knight

While HollyAnne's first exposure to machine sewing was at the young age of 8, but she began sewing seriously in her 20s. She began with a tshirt quilt for her Mama, and now she loves sewing quilts and garments, and she is passionate about providing encouraging, high-quality in-person classes and digital education.

HollyAnne's mission is to guide more folks around the world to stitch with confidence rather than being afraid they will "mess up" their quilts.
