Bobbie Bergquist – Quilters Treasure
New Hampshire’s Bobbie Bergquist is a quilt maker who strives to keep things simple quick and fun. In the professional world Bobbie took difficult, stressful takes and simplified them to teach others. She now brings these same talents into the quilting world. Physical limitations created a need to modify popular traditional quilting methods into something easy to perform. Bobbie realized that she was not alone and has shared this with others who have medical limitations. Bobbie has also found that people without limitations are enjoying using her techniques. What she has introduced to the quilting world is “Appliqué for Cheaters”-an extension for her simple way to make stained glass quilts. Bobbie’s husband and son (Joel and Brian) provide the hand painted marble fabric used in many of her stained glass quilts. Quilters Treasure also produces their own line of commercial prints of this uniquely beautiful fabric. She has taught at “American Quilters’s Society, Teach America to Quilt,” Quiltfest and conducts workshops and conducts workshops and seminars at many quilt shows.
