Julie accidentally started quilting in 2010 and hasn't looked back. She has taught all across the US and brings a fun, relaxed teaching style to every venue. From publishing 2 books, traveling around the country, inventing new quilting toys to teaching, lecturing and running a business, she brings a wealth of life experiences along with her own style of quilting. Currently, she and her husband live in Florida where they run Off the Wall Quilt, a company specializing in custom rulers and templates.  They’ve raised 3 children, hosted 12 exchange students and moved across the country.  Traveling to quilt shows, they’ve seen most of the USA and in between visited a few other countries.  Julie sees life as an adventure and is eager to see what comes next.
