Judy Sisneros

"Circle Pizzazz" is Judy Sisneros' 4th book and the most original one yet. She started with the old traditional block "snake trail" - recut the block and added pieces - getting a new original block. Acrylic templates (5 pieces) are available on her website, to individuals and shops.

Judy's first memory of sewing is making a rag doll and doll clothes as a child. She took her first sewing lessons in 1964 but didn't start quilting until 1987. Her first quilting lessons were through the local adult school. After a move to California's far north coast, she began making landscape quilts.

Her first book, Simply Landscapes, was published in 1994. Her second book, the best-seller "9-Patch Pizzazz: Fast, Fun & Finished in a Day", was published in 2006, followed by "Rectangle Pizzazz" in 2008, both from C&T Publishing.

Judy loves teaching and feels fortunate to be making a living doing something she loves. Judy tries to add a new workshop every year because so many of her students are repeat customers. She is available to teach and lecture nationwide. Her love of people, travel, and fabric makes her an enthusiastic teacher! Kits are available for purchase in many workshops.
