Alesia Willett

Alesia has been quilting for over 30 years, but an admirer much longer.  What started as an interest, became a hobby that grew into a passion.  Her love of quilts and the tradition of making things by hand fueled her journey from hand stitched baby quilts to machine quilted baby quilts and eventually to being a long arm quilter.  Along the way her struggles and challenges helped her find ways to take the process from idea to finished project in an easier and more enjoyable way.  She loves to help others by sharing what she has learned and inspiring them to stretch and grow along their quilting journey too!  Alesia is a Shannon Brinkley Certified instructor offering classes and workshops in Scrappy Applique and Color Confidence for Quilters.  She also offers classes for quilters of all levels seeking to learn, grow, or improve their quilting process.
