Now you'll find Bill presenting at many of those same events, sharing his love of learning and his knack for simplifying complex instructions for beginners.He's been an educator at the Great Wisconsin Quilt Show for several years, where his Bargello quilt "Fiji Coral Reef" was displayed, designed with colors inspired by his underwater photography from scuba diving adventures.Bill has taught quilt piecing classes and given lectures to quilting groups across the region for the last several years. he excels at breaking down intimidating techniques into manageable steps, setting his students up for success on every project. With ten years of experience in quilting on various longarm machines, Bill now uses a Bernina Q 24 with Q-matic, which is by far his favorite!Beyond quilting, Bill travels to exotic locations for scuba diving and underwater photography, enjoys motorcycle riding, and tends to his garden of perennials. His fellow riders, friends, and quilting students all speak of Bill's genuine Midwestern charm.
