Patricia Simons discovered the joy of quilting after completing her second quilt while attending a WonderCut retreat by Alice Walter and Deb Hopkins (designers of the WonderCut rulers).  The Lone Star quilt is usually on display in the Quilter’s Rule show booth.  As Quilter’s Rule developed the Design Tools line, Patricia ahs developed a knack for designing different quilting patterns to fit each individual quilt.  She demonstrates the techniques at shows, and has begun teaching a class called “Unlocking Your Creativity (The Key is Templates).”  She has instituted “Design Basics 101,” which are step-by-step instructions using design templates to create your own patterns.  These templates are available online at www.QuiltersRule.com.  Patricia looks forward to sharing her techniques to help you develop your own style and expertise. 

Patricia represents the family-owned and operated business, Quilter’s Rule, and attends over 20 quilting shows each year.
