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.
