Annie Smith - Headliner Bio
The next thing they ask me is how much I get for my quilts - assuming that I sell them. When I tell them that I don't sell what I do, you can see the confusion in their eyes - but then I tell them what defines what I really do. I’m a:
Quilt Imagineer
National/International Quilt Instructor and lecturer
Designer and pattern publisher
C & T Author
Producer of online classes
Quilt Judge
BERNINA Ambassador
Aurifil Aurifilosopher
Cherrywood fabric Ambassador
Creator of "Quilting Stash", the first podcast for quilters.
You could say that I wear several hats. My life is pretty much quilting; all day, every day. It's not a stretch to say that I'm consumed with everything having to do with quilting. I love everything about quilting - the machines, the fabric, the patterns, the books (oh - I'm especially obsessed with quilting books!), the shows, the notions, the threads, the techniques, but mostly - it’s the people I meet. A life-long Californian, I now live in Texas with my family and love the “buckaroo” culture. I have ten grandchildren and a golden retriever named Posey.
