Patricia Krasnozon

Embroidery/Quilting Teacher

I began sewing at the age of 6, taught by my mother who was a professional seamstress. When my daughter showed an interest in learning to sew and wanted to include her friends as well, I bought several sewing machines and began teaching children to sew and quilt in my home. Eventually I opened a quilt shop and sewing school. This continued for 18 years. I purchased my first embroidery machine 24 years ago and I have continued to learn new methods such as embroidering lace, making entire projects in the hoop which sometimes include installing zippers. I have taught over the years at quilt shops, guilds, retreats and numerous quilting cruises over the years.

Sharla M.

Sewing/Quilting/Crafts Teacher

I’ve been a seamstress for 42 years and a quilter for 28—and yes, my favourite carry-on when I fly is my sewing machine! I started teaching sewing classes when I was just 18, and over the past 35+ years, I’ve taught more than 80 different classes to students of all ages and skill levels.In all those years, I’ve learned that sewing is about so much more than stitches—it's about confidence, creativity, and connection. My absolute favourite part of teaching is that moment when a student lights up and says, “I can’t believe I made this!” It never gets old.I believe with my whole heart that everyone is capable of creating something beautiful. My goal is to guide you gently, meet you where you are, and help you discover just how much you can do—with a little patience, some fabric, and a lot of encouragement.
