Kristin Echols - Seminole Patchwork
Kristin Echols
Worley, ID
Kristin started her quilting journey in 1999 when she made a baby quilt for her best friend, using fabric from the bridesmaid dress she wore in her friend’s wedding. Although acetate isn’t the ideal material for a baby quilt, Kristin quickly became passionate about quilting. She began taking classes, invested in a Janome sewing machine, made friends at her local quilt shop, and embraced quilting as her creative hobby to balance her career as a computer engineer.
Her fascination with Seminole patchwork began when she saw the technique featured on Simply Quilts. Driven by curiosity, she sought out all available books on the subject and started incorporating Seminole strip piecing into her quilts and home decor projects. She enjoys the vivid and intricate patterns created by joining strips of fabric, cutting them apart, and sewing them back together. For over 15 years, Kristin has been sharing these techniques through teaching.
Kristin retired from the County of Sacramento where she spent 23 years as a computer geek. When not quilting or teaching, she enjoys spending time with her husband, their three grown children and two grandkids. They live on 18 acres in beautiful Worley, Idaho.
