We’d like to introduce you to one of our talented designers. Meet Barb Sackel!.
 |
Barb has been designing quilts for 10 years but decided to take her designs to the public one year ago. To date she has 14 patterns on the market with another 11 coming out for the Quilt Market Trade Show being held in Houston in October. One of her best loved designs is Batik Diamonds, now available not only as a pattern but also in a kit format here at QuiltWoman.com |
| All Barb’s patterns are offered at QuiltWoman.com. In addition, you can see samples of her work at Betty’s Quilting etc. located in Spencerport, New York, her quilting home. Barb is also featured by Nancy’s Notions, Clotilde, Pattern Peddlers, and Checker, to name just a few. She is also found with two major distributors in Canada. Business is booming for Barb, and we couldn’t be more thrilled for her!
In addition, Barb is available to do trunk shows for your guild or organization. Email Barb at stitchbum@aol.com. |
