Instructor Bio: | Robin Phippins found her passion when she was introduced to free motion quilting in 2007. Before then, she would piece quilts and send them to a longarm quilter. Then, she became the longarm quilter others seek out for her unique style of free motion and custom quilting. After building her longarm business, Robin left her corporate job in 2013 to join a local quilt shop as sales manager for longarm quilting and domestic sewing machines. Being in the shop also allowed her to offer classes focusing on various techniques and styles. Free motion quilting brought her into longarm quilting, but she also enjoys sharing the use of rulers for another style of quilting. Robin?s first BERNINA was an artista 180, and she has since added a BERNINA 770 QE to her studio, giving her the best in piecing machines to go with her BERNINA Q 24 with Q-matic (aka Miss B). Students in her classes often use the 770 to learn quilting on a domestic machine using Robin?s guidance in building their confidence and showing what they can accomplish when willing to stretch and try new techniques. Accomplished quilters in class discover new ideas to expand their design library. Robin?s talent has led pattern designers to use her as a pattern tester, and she has quilted their pieces for Quilt Market in Houston, TX. Robin considers herself an always learning curious quilter who loves working with many different techniques. She is always on the lookout for new ideas, designs and visions. When at home in Virginia, Robin enjoys being with her husband, their children and grandchildren, fur babies and chickens |
