Tristen Van Leeuwen has been sewing rainbow since she was a teenager in Home Ec. She loves lettering, Foundation and English paper piecing as well as piecing by machine. She began making bags two years ago and has mastered every technique. She is an awesome teacher and has the best eye for fabric combinations. Her attention to detail makes all her creations amazing. And she's so much fun! She knows all the best treats and is always willing to share. 

Jill McAree began quilting almost 25 years ago but it took her years to get over her fear of curves and triangles. She loves FPP and EPP, applique and embroidery. Two years ago she started making bags and fell in love! She's not afraid to tackle any hard project and loves to learn new things. She has an amazing attitude and believes everyone she loves deserves something handmade.
