Teajuana Mahone began quilting in 1994. She can remember wanting to quilt as a child as she watched her great aunt make quilts from recycled clothing and feed sack bags. She has a degree in business administration with an emphasis in accounting and is currently retired after working many years as a research analyst. In addition, she enjoys teaching various quilting classes and giving quilt lectures and trunk shows. My recent love is providing quilting assistance via my Youtube channel.
Her quilting style is varied, as she loves new techniques. Recently her quilt making has turned toward scrap quilts, quilts with unique piecing techniques or “twists”, and the incorporating of embellishments into finished projects. She has made over 500 quilted items; you may see some of her quilts by visiting her website.
She has won various awards from local guild quilt shows. In addition, her work has been accepted in the AQS Quilt Exposition in Nashville, TN. She began teaching quilting classes in 2002 and began lecturing in 2005.
