The Journey
Lori Dickman is an educator, an author, and a pattern designer. She has been sewing for over 45 years and quilting for over 30 years. She teaches numerous quilting and sewing classes. After spending 15 years concentrating in the art of garment sewing, her ‘quilting journey’ began in 1988 when she created her first quilt. Lori is passionate about working with fabric and color, as well as teaching others to join in on this quilter’s love affair. The art of “Making” has been a wonderful journey for her. Lori’s desire is for others to learn to love the art of quilt-making as much as she does! Join in on the passion and fun of creating!
