About Sam
I grew up in Northern British Columbia, Canada, on a farm in the bush. I spent most of my life working as a bartender until I went full-time in my longarm studio in 2018. I began sharing my quilting in the form of educational presentations in 2020 and have had the privilege of teaching alongside notable teachers such as Susan Smith and Bethanne Nemesh.
I launched my YouTube Channel in 2023 and have been really loving sharing on that platform (I'm sticking around for sure!).
I've had quilts I quilted hang at QuiltCon 2022, AQS Daytona Beach 2024(3rd), AQS Paducah 2024(1st quilter's choice), Quilt Canada 2024 (YouTube Video), and 2025 (2nd in Abstract). I'm pretty new to the show world, but I am looking forward to the future and some awesome projects.
I have aspirations to travel to the UK, Australia, Japan, South Africa, and Brazil to see all the quilts! I would also love to share my insights and perspective at these amazing international shows.
Learning everything the hard way was ridiculous, and I really hope you take some time and check out my courses. I want to share with you what I’ve learned and help you learn a whole lot faster.

IT WASN'T ALWAYS EASY
I've spent just as many hours picking stitches out of a quilt as I have putting them in. Learning to see beyond the blocks has had me in frustrated tears and fits of unrestrained swearing rages. The only way to overcome the dark days of quilting is to keep going and not give up. I quilted every day for almost 2 years before I declared myself a proper longarm quilter.
