Dickman, Lori
Lori Dickman is an author, educator, lecturer, pattern designer, and award-winning quilter. Playing with fabric and color has been her passion since she was a young girl. She began her journey as a maker sewing her own clothing, then bridal ensembles, and finally she found quilting in the mid-1980! She fell in love with the art of quilting and hasn't stopped, even as she worked a full-time job. Lori has written books that focus on one of her specialties: Speedy Solutions to Cut & Organize Your Scrap Stash, a technique book, and Speedy Scrappy Patterns Book, featuring twelve scrappy patterns to create gorgeous scrappy quilts. In Lori's books, her YouTube Channel, and in her national and international lectures and workshops, she teaches her Speedy Solutions© techniques to help quilters around the world as they begin their scrap stash quilting journey! Lori's love for quilting doesn't end with scraps - it’s also evident in her art and pictorial quilts, as well as her contemporary and traditional quilts, some which have been featured in AQS Quilt Art Engagement Calendars and in McCalls Quilting magazine. Lori also enjoys teaching on quilt cruises where she can share her love of quilting with others. For more information about Lori, visit quiltingwithlori.com.
