Before quilting became her full time career, Bonnie was the owner and designer of “Needle in a Haystack!!” creating over 70 patterns for dolls and stuffed animals with a country primitive feel. Many of her designs were licensed through the Butterick Pattern Company, translated into 7 languages, and sold around the globe through fabric stores.

But Quilting has always been Bonnie’s first love.  She has been machine quilting for nearly 20 years and professionally long arm machine quilting for the public for  15 years,  purchasing her first longarm machine in 1995.  She has been featured in magazines both for her quilt patterns and articles she has written on scrap management and using that stash to it’s full potential.

Bonnie is dedicated to continuing the traditions of quilting. She enjoys meeting with quilters, teaching workshops and lecturing to quilt guilds all over the USA, challenging quilters to break the rules, think outside the box, and find what brings them joy.
