Lisa McKissick
Lisa McKissick is an award-winning quilter, carrying on a 125-year family tradition of quilting. Lisa learned the art of quilting from her Mom and sister; she is an expert in machine piecing, machine applique’ and paper piecing.
In her past life Lisa taught computers and networking. When she began working at a quilt shop in 2010, she thought teaching people to quilt was a natural progression in her career!
Besides, doesn’t EVERYONE go from teaching computers to teaching quilting? While it is much more fun teaching quilting than teaching computers, Lisa feels like computers are a little less dangerous -- she never got poked with a pin while teaching computer programs!
Lisa is an extraordinary quilt teacher having taught several hundred quilting classes and well over 2,500 students. She is an exciting and humorous lecturer and a talented pattern designer and developer. You will find Lisa working part time at a quilt shop in Sonoma, California where she teaches and is a buyer of fabric, notions and quilting supplies. She regularly attends Quilt Market to find the latest and greatest quilting notions and tools.
Lisa has 3 amazing children (don’t we all say that!?!) But really, they are wonderful and… THEY ALL QUILT! Lisa’s mission is to teach as many people as possible to quilt!!
