Heather has had a lifelong but varied love affair with fabric. She learned sewing at her mother and grandmothers’ knees and her first sewing project was a skirt. She picked up quilting in her teens, creating a hand-stitched Cathedral Window quilt and took off from there. Most of her early quilts were her own patterns. After a decade on hold, she got back into quilting after moving to Alaska.
She has taught beginner sewing, beginner quilting, and beginner alterations classes in the local community, as well as bag making classes at her local Alaskan quilt store.
Following up on her early days, Heather loves to create quilts geared to beginner quilters and create quilt patterns for panels. She is also focused on the backside of quilts and has started making and selling personalized sublimated quilt labels. You can see more on her website at HMJ Originals.
Heather’s Lecture is on Labels for Your Quilt. She discusses the many methods of making quilt labels, including using Sublimation, and she offers advice on what to include on your quilt labels.
