Meet the fabulous teachers for the 2021 Sewing Conference!

Jeannie Miller

Jeannie started quilting at 22 when she was living in Kentuck and a friend's mother helped her hand piece and quilt her first quilt, a double wedding ring. As soon as she was old enough to operate the sewing machine solo, she began her sewing hobby which has spanned her life with sewing, embroidering and quilting. Jeannie first started using the GO! System when it was first released and just loves the time saving and perfect cuts that it afforded. Jeannie teaches at local stores and national events. She is a retired school Media Specialist/Teacher with 35 years experience. Jeannie lives in Palm City, Florida close to her daughter and grandson with her two rescue dog Radar and Stitch.
