Sandra Lee Design

I took a class with Sandra Lee Chandler at the Chaska Area Quilt Club's fall show this year, and I was very impressed with her as both an artist and as a teacher. Here is what she has to say about herself on her website Sandra Lee Designs: "With over 35 years of teaching experience and multiple accolades as a textile artist under my belt, including serving as a Bernina Ambassador, Aurifil Color Builder Designer, and appearing on The Quilt Show and Quilting Arts TV, I've learned the secret of happiness - there is no pre-written pattern to life! This realization, in conjunction with my strong passion for fiber art and teaching, propelled me to create Sandra Lee Design, a Creative space where makers can gather to experiment, collaborate, and inspire one another to push their creative boundaries. There is so much more to art than just the end product Art is vibrant and diverse, and it holds the power to serve as a reflection of what means the most to you." I took a class to make a jacket, but her identified specialty areas are making denim quilts and clothing and teaching the Sashiko and Boro methods of stitching. She is an avid upcycler who has a great eye and shares her thoughts and ideas freely. I would highly recommend taking a class with her, and I would travel again to do so myself.
