Debby Brown – More or Less Quilting

“I began a public design experiment starting with a simple quilt (three pieces of fabric) and machine quilting in one color of thread. Once that first quilt was done, I saw one area that I wanted to change so I pieced another simple quilt and quilted it again. Then I saw another area that I wanted to change… I loved every minute of this project and learned so much about the evolution of design.

This lecture chronicles the progression of small changes that ended with a spectacular result!”

A seamstress from her youth, Debby transitioned into quilting while expecting her first child. Thirty years and thousands of quilts later, she is an award-winning quilter who has published quilts, patterns, articles and columns in major quilting magazines, and authored two books.

She teaches at national and international quilting shows, has filmed HQ Sweet Sixteen® instructional DVDs and has taught multiple machine quilting classes on Craftsy.

When not traveling to spread her fun brand of quilting, Debby creates in her studio in New York’s beautiful Hudson Valley. Debby and her husband enjoy plotting how best to spoil their grandchildren.
