Paint splattered, bleach spotted and stray threads hanging on for dear life, Julie Mainor skids in. Unapologetically messy and precision-free she teaches the joy of quilt art. In her workshops you are inspired to relax and let your passion for quilts and quilting flow onto fabric and become art. Full of unconventional, common sense ideas on taking the easy way out to make WOW quilts.

Julie has been teaching since 2001, first developing patterns and techniques to make traditional quilts easier for beginners and busy quilters, then gradually moving into the wonderful world of quilted art. She specializes in discovering the creativity in self-professed non-creative quilters and turning "I've never sewn before." into "Oh my Goodness, look what I made!". Fun is of the highest priority in these workshops and classes.

Julie's award winning quilts have been displayed at colleges, museums and businesses throughout North Florida and South Georgia. She gracefully walks the line between the quilt world and the art world fusing the two in her own unique style, all the time sharing with others her refreshingly easy techniques.

Seeing one of Julie's Collage Trunk Shows is an experience you will not soon forget. Each story is illustrated by a group of quilts, each one better than the last! You'll love this multi-media program
