About OPQuilt and Elizabeth E.

This is the quilting, sewing and clothing & textile blog of Elizabeth Eastmond, along with writing about quilting-related topics found as I navigate the patchwork world.  Recently retired from teaching English at the local community college, I can now quilt full-time, write full-time, but do housecleaning only occasionally. My husband and I like to travel and have 11 grandchildren.

Education
AS degree in Clothing and Construction
BS and MFA in Creative Writing
Full CV listing awards and classes available upon request

Since I’ve been quilting for several decades, I have mastered a raft of skills: appliqué, embroidery, wool work, piecing, designing, free-motion quilting, mid-size machine quilting, hand-stitching, English Paper-Piecing, modern quilting, and paper piecing.  In other words, I have a multi-skill approach to quilts.

I updated my personal information in a New Year’s Blog post one year.  You might like to read that one, too.
