About this title

About the Author:

A veteran quilter of 30 years, Shar Jorgenson is a familiar face to thousands of television viewers. Her two hit PBS television series, Quilting with Shar and Quilting from the Heartland, bring innovative techniques to quilt makers of all skill levels. Her enthusiasm, down-to-earth style, and extensive expereince guide viewers through the steps of creating beautiful quilts, quickly and easily with today's tools. In 1988, Shar created her first set of laser cut acrylic templates. Her time-saving method of rotary cutting several layers of fabric into customized shapes brought accuracy and convenience to quilt makers. Without sacrificing the beauty of traditional designs, Shar teaches methods for accurately reproducing ageless quilt patterns with ease and efficiency. Her step-by-step instructions, based upon her own hands on experience, take the mystique out of quilting and insure successfull results. In addition to the 130 quilt programs she has taped for PBS, Shar is the author of twelve books. Her latest hit is the book and templates for the Dahlia. She has developed over 40 template patterns and a full line of quilting stencils. She exhibits and teaches at over 20 quilting events annually all over the world. Through filming, writing and teaching, Shar continues to share her knowledge and love of the art with quilt makers everywhere. Shar has produced two fabric lines for Benartex. The first one is called Age of Innocence. She got the inspiration for this romantic collection of fabric from postcards from the late 1800's to early 1900's. Her second line of fabric is called Summertime Journal.
