Lee Chappell Monroe

Lee has been creating since she first discovered crayons at age 2! She’s from a family of sewists and learned everything from her mother, affectionately known as The Guru. She loves all things fabric—from zippy pouch to queen size quilt—and everything in between. With a love of color and bold graphic shapes, Lee enjoys designing patterns as May Chappell and teaching all types of classes, while sharing her adventures on her blog, www.maychappell.com. She is a trained graphic designer which shows in her clean aesthetic. Her work has appeared in multiple publications. Lee is also a BERNINA Ambassador, as well as a Creative Spark and Craftsy instructor. Lee lives in beautiful North Carolina.
