Instructor Bio: Bonnie Barthelemy started sewing as a child with her grandmother. They would spend many hours together making doll clothes. The love of sewing started to spark there and Bonnie has been sewing ever since. These days, she sews with her grandchildren as they make doll clothes, clothing, bags and quilts together. Bonnie started quilting in the early 90's when she took a class to make a sampler quilt and has had at least one quilt in process ever since. She is always eager to learn new techniques and in 2006, started teaching classes on quilting, in a local quilt shop in Tennessee. Bonnie is passionate about sewing and quilting and loves to share that passion to others. She currently lives in Spotsylvania with her husband Vic. Heather Stadelman has been sewing since she was a child. Making garments, quilts and crafts has always been a creative passion for her.
