Teajuana's quilting style is varied, as she loves new techniques. 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 websites. 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 and AQS in Paducah Kentucky.
Teajuana is available to give lectures, trunk shows, and/or classes. The cost of travel, lodging and meals are the responsibility of the guild or organization scheduling the event. Due to actual quilts being shown in the trunk shows, I prefer to drive anywhere within 300 miles. In that case, travel cost will be at the IRS mileage rate. In addition to lectures and workshops, Teajuana also provides long arm quilting services. (Updated 5/16)
