Denise Sheehan

Award winning quilt designer, Denise Sheehan, has been quilting since 1997 when she took a class to make a postage stamp quilt (which is still waiting to be finished.) Her love for quilting skyrocketed at that point and she took classes on every technique and style of quilting. She has come full circle and now teaches quilt making. Her pattern company, A Graceful Stitch was started in 2006 when the design side of quilting became her passion. Denise keeps her eyes open all the time, taking inspiration from what surrounds her. She likes to challenge herself with a variety of color palettes and a wide range of fabric choices. She tries to sew a little each day even if it's "after hours" when everyone else has gone to bed. Denise lives in California with her husband and two daughters.
