Tracey Russell of Whirls n Swirls Quilting is a dynamo! She made her very first quilt out of triangles, and taught herself to quilt on a longarm machine way before YouTube University was a thing. Now Tracey finds great pleasure is helping new quilters "flatline the learning curve", and find confidence in their quilting. She teaches and encourages both online and in her brick and mortar shop in Whitby, ON, Canada.
In this episode we chat about how to approach new skills without fear, getting in the quilting groove, and who longarm quilting is suitable for (hint: it's everyone who wants to do it!) plus how to avoid sabotaging our own learning journey.
Tracey can be found in all these places:
