QUILT ALONG WITH RANAE LIVE IN HER STUDIO --JOIN THE FREE-MOTION MASTERY IN A MONTH FACEBOOK GROUP!

Hi, I'm RaNae!

You might already know me from my books Simply Amazing Spiral Quilts, and Sideways Spiral Quilts. My newest book is Free-Motion Mastery in a Month. I'm so excited about "FMM30" because it solves the problem of how to learn to do free-motion quilting: It's a simple, step-by-step learning system for machine quilting success!

show me Free-Motion Mastery in a Month!

Welcome!

I'm passionate about quilting, and even more about teaching quilting.

Maybe it comes from being the oldest of 6 kids -- being the big sister I was always teaching something to somebody!
I was also a pianist and piano teacher for more than 25 years. I have a lot of experience teaching people how to use their hands, and all that went into Free-Motion Mastery in a Month.

I teach at quilt shows, guilds and stores around the world and would love to teach at yours.
