My name is Rebecca Roach and Austin, TX is my home. I’m a pattern designer, writer, illustrator, teacher, and French fry connoisseur. I made my first quilt when I was 10 years old (before the rotary cutter was invented!) and everything was hand pieced and hand quilted with a waxed thread so thick & wiry, I could have rappelled down a cliff with it. I put away my dressmaker shears and template plastic thinking that I would never look back, but here I am! Growing and learning and sharing with my wonderful MQG peeps.
