Post-pandemic, GDQ is shifting to reaching students where they are as you join us on your quilting journey. By creating online courses, we can share our passion and expertise with you.
Note that signing up for our GDQ school will add students to our Users list, but you will still need to enroll in specific courses and coaching products of your choice to access our content.
"Liz is a great teacher and provided lots of ideas for doing hexified panels as well as providing clear explanations on the math for incorporating the panel(s) into the overall layout. Fun, Fun, Fun!!"

Hexified Panel Quilts

Liz started quilting in 2006, quickly making the transition from 50+ years of sewing garments to becoming passionate about quilting. Her quilts have a flavor all their own as she creates unique layouts and color play for one-of-a-kind quilts.
Liz is known for her Hexified Panel quilts, a variation on the One Block Wonder technique. Two of Liz’s hexified panel quilts appear in One Block Wonders of the World (2017, C&T Publishing), and five of her quilts appear in One Block Wonder Panel Quilts (2021, C&T Publishing). Liz has made several quilts as guest quilt artist for Paintbrush Studio and Timeless Treasures Fabrics. Liz teaches a variety of classes including the hexified panel quilt workshop and free motion quilting on domestic sewing machines/sit-down midarm quilters at several quilt shops across northeast Kansas and was a teacher at the 2017 and 2019 Kansas City Regional Quilt Festivals.
