Michael’s quilt journey began with his grandmother and coloring books on the Southside of Chicago. He will tell the story about the three women who have guilded and encouraged him through his quilting journey. These women helped transform Michael from to a young man with no vision for the future into a successful published quilt pattern designer and quilt instructor thirteen years later.

Through this presentation he will present the quilts and their patterns that have provided his with joy. Someone asked Michael once, “why quilting” and he answered with “because through quilting, I found myself again!”
