MEET YOUR INSTRUCTOR
She's passionate about quilting, in color!
Hey there! I'm Rebecca
My passion is quilting in color and helping quilters confidently work with color. I'm known for my colorful quilts, and I've taught quilters and shown my quilts around the world.
When I'm not quilting or teaching, I can be found enjoying a hot cup of coffee (Mocha's are my go to treat!) and a good book, with Bruce Wayne the Weiner Dog curled up on my lap. I also enjoy painting and spending time with my family, husband, and four children.
If you're *dying* to know more here are 5 random things you might not know... We seem to move a lot, though it's never in the plan. Ha! I am a night owl. I wish I exercised more. My closet is hella messy but my sewing studio is hella organized. I'm a t-shirt and jeans kinda girl but I do love me some hair and make up - ya know, just to upgrade my casual style. Ha!

"Love the 2018 BOM. From start to finish the process was very clear. Videos supported the written materials and the sharing among people from all around the world added additional support and inspiration."
Toni
"BOM 2018 is my third class with Becca, one of my favorite quilt teachers. Her projects are interesting and inspiring and her commitment to sharing her techniques, ideas and even her rare mistakes, makes each session a learning time. Iā€™m looking forward to 2019 BOM!"
Randolph
"I'm new to quilting, so starting a quilting project was daunting for me. But along came the Rainbow Triangle BOM! I signed up and have thoroughly enjoyed the whole process. Plus I will have completed my first quilt! I found the lessons were very well organised. The videos are great as you can actually see the process. Rebecca is an awesome teacher, very well organised and thorough. I have learnt so much and can't wait to start the 2019 BOM."
Lisa
"The Rainbow Triangle BOM has been a great way to learn new types of piecing to create an often overlooked block shape, triangles, with everything from handouts to video instructions. It has been fun trying to work out each month how the different coloured pieces will go together, and the end result is a gorgeous, unusual and vibrant quilt."
Katy
"I had so much fun with the 2018 BOM! The email reveal at the beginning of each month was like getting a little present! Some months were challenging, others were easy-peasy but the final outcome was creative, colorful and beautiful. Rebeccaā€™s attention to detail is incredible...handouts, videos and even a place to post our progress! She gave me so much more than I expected!"
Colleen
"The 2018 Rainbow Triangle BOM has been pure enjoyment. I took a class previously online with Rebecca and wanted more. And now I have signed up for the 2019 BOM challenge to continue with the enjoyment. Rebecca is a very good teacher, thorough, charismatic, approachable. Would recommend anyone at any level of sewing expertise to join in!"
