Meet Nina, a retired Law Enforcement officer turned crafty maker quilter extraordinaire.  Throughout her thirty-year career, she always tailored her own uniforms, but don’t ask her to hem pants anymore, quilters don’t do that!  Living and working in CA for more than 50 years, Nina and her husband moved to Idaho after retiring. She now sews all day long and she thinks that’s fantastic!

Nina still has her first sewing machine, a mini toy singer hand crank which she used to play with as a child! She was always crafty making all kinds of things for her children, home, and gifts for friends and family. In 2019, she tried quilting and finally understood what her high school geometry teacher had been trying to teach with all those angles and shapes!

Nina is a skilled educator with a background in curriculum design and adult learning concepts.  Her style of teaching is energetic and fun.  She has a certificate on Instructor Development and Adult Learning Concepts from Santa Rosa Junior College and went on to become a CA POST Master Instructor.  She attended the Handiquilter retail academy and is familiar with Handiquilter long arms and Prostitcher. If she isn’t behind a machine, you might find her swimming laps at the rec center or walking the dog along the river; Idaho is such a pretty place to live!
