Lisa stitched her first quilt more than fifteen years ago when her sister invited her to a mystery quilt weekend and she has not looked back since. She has completed numerous quilts and began teaching friends and acquaintances how to quilt ten years ago while living in New Jersey. Her intense love of quilting is infectious and she has led many novices and beginners in weekly quilting classes while living in New Jersey, and has continued these efforts since moving to New Hampshire in 2008. Lisa’s love of dramatic colors and bold tones are evident in her everyday life and she was naturally drawn to BeColourful quilts when she first saw them. Lisa has completed multiple BeColourful quilts and her first BeColourful quilt, which was Circle of Life, won a Blue Ribbon at Maine Quilts 2014 in addition to The National Quilting Association Certified Judge - Award of Merit. There are always multiple BeColourful quilts in various stages being worked on in her studio. This experience gives Lisa a complete command of all of the major quilting techniques used to create Jacqueline’s amazing paper pieced quilts. |
In October 2013, Lisa attended a Master’s Class with Jacqueline de Jonge, quilt designer and owner of BeColourful from The Netherlands. During this master’s class Lisa’s love of vivid color, which Jacqueline uses in many of her quilts, was ignited. The paper piecing and construction techniques Jacqueline taught were ingenious and fit right into Lisa’s teaching toolbox. Her love of teaching and sharing information lead Lisa to approach Jacqueline and BeColourful about teaching for them here in the United States. In late December 2013, Lisa was given authorization to teach on behalf of Jacqueline and BeColourful throughout the Northeastern US.
Lisa continues to learn new BeColourful patterns and techniques along with learning new ideas, processes and shortcuts to share with other quilters. Lisa’s love for quilting, and her easy going, friendly personality is ideal for beginning quilters as they learn to do BeColourful patterns. She also has the depth and breadth of quilting experience to bring experienced quilters further along in their quilting journey. Lisa has more than fifteen years classroom education experience working in public school systems which gives her a strong background in breaking down the more complex quilting techniques into easy to understand steps.
Lisa is the owner of Compass Point Quilts & CPQ Studio, located in East Kingston, New Hampshire, which focuses on teaching BeColourful & Judy Niemeyer quilt patterns and can be described as an enthusiast of this art form. She has been a certified instructor for Quiltworx for the past three years. Lisa is a member of the Merrimack Valley Quilt Guild, Plaistow, NH; Seabreeze Quilt Guild, Exeter, NH; The New England Quilt Museum, Lowell, MA, NH State Quilters Association, Concord, NH, and The National Quilting Association. Her geographic focus is the Northeastern US and New England regions, but is available as needed to travel and teach anywhere in the United States.
