Karla Gerome’s love for quilting began over 38 years ago. She first experienced quilts when she helped her mom tie quilts for family and friends. At a young age, Karla started teaching quilting at a hand quilting class called, “Tiny, Tiny Stitches.” Currently, she leads the education department at Grace Company, which allows her the opportunity to innovate and create new ideas and ways to quilt or sew. Karla always looks to learn new techniques and help others develop confidence in themselves and their quilting abilities. Additionally, Karla likes to share her experiences and passion for quilting with others, and she deeply enjoys helping people discover their quilting style. She appreciates working with individuals of all skill levels and enjoys giving people creating quilting solutions. Join Karla and the Grace Company Education Team for “Tuesdays With Grace,” a weekly video broadcast with fun creative patterns, ideas, and ways to quilt. The videos also demonstrate techniques for learning and using quilting machines and frames.
