| AUGUST 16 - MARTHA WOLF "COLOR THEORY" |
| embroidery at four (she wouldn't sit still until she was four!) and she was making doll clothes when she was six. She learned how to make my own clothes in grade school, and completed her first quilt in high school using leftovers from her clothes. “Yes there was a lot of polyester in that quilt!” She progressed to more "serious" quilting in 1990 with the purchase of her first Bernina sewing machine. Classes at the shop opened up a whole new world to her including her first rotary cutter and the idea of machine quilting. She has worked at and taught classes at a number of quilt shops in the greater Dallas area, and have published her own line of patterns as well as published quilting instructions for a recent book called “Scraps of Life. “ She has been quilting for 22 years.
