About Elaine
As a registered nurse and wife of a career military officer, I spent 20 years traveling and living throughout the United States and Europe before settling in rural Vermont in 1971. As retirement years approached I toyed with the idea of starting a small quilting business. A few years earlier I had attended a quilting class and discovered the new enjoyment and challenge of creating quilts and researching their history.
After retiring from Hospice in 1990, I converted four rooms of our historic home into a studio/shop. Quilts by Elaine was born. As I taught myself new skills, I expanded my business to include teaching. I have given both private and group lessons in my studio and at a family resort near here. I have also given lectures on the history of quilt making. One of my biggest thrills has been to appear as the featured quilter from Vermont on a segment of the show Lynette Jennings Designs shown on the Discovery channel.
My love of quilting has never diminished and I am finding retirement to be an exciting and busy time in my life. I love exploring new and unusual techniques but I must admit my heart is with traditional patterns. I encourage people interested in quilting to give it a try. I find it very therapeutic and rewarding and know you will also.
