| Instructor Bio: | Meet the instructor - Elissa Ziccardi! I am a textile artist with an aesthetic that is designed to inspire. I combine my love of quilting and background in garment making to passionately create pieces that are modern and made-to-stand-out. My favorite methods of sewing include foundation paper piecing, machine applique, and English paper piecing – detailed fussy cutting and precision work is where I put the love in my details. My creative style is bold, bright, & beautiful with a dash of over-the-top! I am passionate about pushing the boundaries of mixing endless color and loads of pattern in my creations. From the first time that I sat down at a sewing machine in the spring of 2011, the attraction was electric and I knew that creating is what I wanted to pour my heart into any moment I could spare. My sewing started simply - I just wanted to make a skirt for my oldest daughter. That quickly turned into a children's custom boutique specializing in one-of-a-kind apparel. For over a decade I had the pleasure of creating clothing & specialty garments for families all over the globe. As my own children grew up and my desire to sew and stitch evolved, I fell into a love affair with quilting - challenging myself to think outside of the box while honoring my colorful, unique spirit. As my own children grew up and my desire to sew and stitch evolved, I fell into a love affair with quilting and bag making. My current body of work specializes in quilted garments, bags, and footwear - and of course quilt making! I aim to encourage the unique spirit in each of us to create with authenticity and passion. Inspiring others to get inspired (one stitch at a time!) is my goal when teaching a class or workshop, as well as presenting & lecturing both locally and nationally. I am a FreeSpirit Fabrics Circle of Makers Brand Ambassador, an Aurifil Artisan, and my favorite fabric designer is the creative genius, Tula Pink. When I am not in my studio creating I can be found loudly cheering on my busy teens, or reading a book accompanied by our family pups, Max and Rudy. Stay Inspired and Happy Stitching! |
