Quilt Judging Bio
Lisa began making quilts in 1991 while living in Raleigh and has made over 700 quilts. Some of her quilts have won awards in local, state and national quilt shows and she has taught and lectured about quilts across the state.
Now living in Winston-Salem, she has served as President and Quilt Show Chair for Forsyth Piecers & Quilters Guild and the Heart of the Triad Quilt Guild. She also served as quilt show chair for the 2006 North Carolina Quilt Symposium and served on the NC Quilt Symposium Board.
Since leaving the engineering field in 2011, she has become a full-time quiltmaker. She publishes quilt patterns under Bear Hug Quiltworks, teaches at local quilt shops, provides programs and trunk shows to local guilds, and judges local and state quilt shows.
Though not an NQA certified judge, she has completed the classes offered through the program, studied extensively and has judged many quilt shows including North Carolina Quilt Symposium. Her philosophy regarding quilt show judging is “Having my quilts judged, I always learn something that improves me as a quilter. When I critique a piece on the judging floor, I try to offer the same so that there is benefit to the maker. But, most of all, I respect the piece and the person who created it.”
