Michele Scott began quilting as a hobby to pass the time. It quickly became her passion and she was especially intrigued with free-motion quilting, creating designs that need no marking. Embellishing quilts with a variety of threads was fascinating to her and she determined to incorporate as many of them into her quilts as she could! Working with varieties of threads and embellishments can prove very frustrating, so Michele spent many hours developing strategies to work with them more effectively. Michele has created numerous fabric lines and has her own lines of machine quilting threads. Her quilt designs can be found in major quilting publications. She is the author of Bobbin Quiltin’ & Fusin’ Fun, a publication of the American Quilter’s Society. Close to Home, a block-of-the-month project, is also available through AQS.
