Jennifer Halbur has been a quilter for many years. She started sewing when she was able to reach the sewing pedal and switched to all quilting about 25 years ago. She loves the challenge of matching fabric to a pattern and creating a beautiful quilt to give someone comfort. She has made upwards of
200 quilts and have gifted the majority of those to family and friends. Her quilting life changed when she started following Gudrun and GE Designs. Her patterns are amazing! Gudrun’s Stripology ® Rulers revolutionized the way she quilts and she can’t wait to show our guild how!
