Welcome to Conscious Quilting.

Hello! My name is John, and I have been quilting since 2005. It began as occupational therapy following the death of my father. I found that as I was creating my quilts, I was far more in love with quilting them than with piecing them. From there, I began exploring free motion quilting, and in short order bought my first mid arm quilting machine. For years, I only knew how to quilt with a moveable machine, but when I started teaching classes, I realized I needed to learn more about quilting on a domestic sewing machine. I have come to love quilting on domestic just as much as I enjoy working on a longarm.

I approach quilting as a type of active meditation, using it as a way to calm and center myself. Many of my videos are intended to help bring a sense of calm to my viewers. Many others are intended to help instruct you in free motion quilting.

I hope you enjoy your time with me. Thank you so much for watching, subscribing and sharing!
