Updated information for EU and UK customers >
Sindy, known for her inventive appliqué designs, began quilting in 1989. She describes how she started: “The first quilt I made was a Double Wedding-ring. In retrospect I am amazed I stuck with the hobby! Why in the world didn’t the friendly faces at the fabric store let me know what I was wading into? Soon after I found the internet, which led me to Electric Quilt. That discovery opened up a whole new world of self expression for me! Now I am a chronic EQ doodler.”
