Quilter | Teacher
Meet Frances Arnold!
Frances learned to quilt from a long line of creative women and has spent more than 40 years developing her own artistic voice through quilting. She loves not only creating quilts but also teaching and encouraging others in their creative journey. Through her daily blog at www.francesquilts.com/blog, she shares inspiration, practical quilting tips, and encouragement for quilters of all skill levels.
Frances especially enjoys machine quilting and takes pride in guiding a quilt from the first idea to the final stitch. Rather than relying heavily on patterns, she prefers to let each quilt evolve naturally, allowing new ideas and creative possibilities to emerge along the way.
