Meet Your Quilter: Althea Gyde, CCO (Chief Creative Officer) at Blue Heron Quilting
I have been creative my whole life. I circled back to quilting a few years ago when I was in graduate school. I needed a creative outlet and quilting was the perfect fit! Quilting is a permanent artistic expression of my life's passions about nature, science, family, friends, teaching, and learning. I am at my best when I'm creating. Quilting helps me to unearth my deepest expression and serve my creative community in the best possible way.
I create, preferably with fabric and sewing machine, every day! When I'm not quilting you will find me spending time, generally outside, with my family and friends. I love to swim, bike, run, triathlon, yoga, paddleboard, hike, ski, and snowshoe! I find both dark chocolate and street tacos irresistible!
Meet Darth: A Gammill Statler Stitcher with 14-foot table
After years of research, I am proud to have a Gammill Statler Stitcher in my studio. Gammill makes the best longarm quilting machine on the market. Because we will be spending many hours together, I've named my Gammill Statler Stitcher "Darth".
Darth comes with many fabulous features including perfect, computerized stitches and a 14-foot table to handle your largest quilty projects.
At Blue Heron Quilting, Darth and I can help you get your quilting projects finished in a timely and professional manner.
