Debbie Martin Bio
I’ve been drawn to the hum of a sewing machine for as long as I can remember. Inspired by my mother—a gifted sewist and my biggest cheerleader—I took my first stitches creating doll clothes. Those early, tiny garments were just the beginning of a lifelong journey of creativity, patience, and discovery.
In 1984, my path led me to quilting. Armed with a sewing machine and an insatiable curiosity, I taught myself to read quilt patterns and piece fabric together. Each quilt was a new adventure, every technique a new puzzle to solve. I explored countless styles, from classic to avant-garde, and took my first formal classes at Quilt University. The lessons and inspiration I gained from those teachers shaped my early quilting years, but something still felt elusive—my artistic voice, that unique style that would define me.
Everything changed in 2012 when I discovered the Quiltworx pattern Glacier Star. Its striking design drew me in, but the real revelation came with the techniques—an innovative approach to paper piecing that felt like unlocking a hidden door to creativity. I immersed myself in the process, building skills with the Block of the Month series and dreaming of new possibilities. What started as a dream soon became a mission: to share these transformative techniques with others.
Today, I’m fulfilling that mission, helping students uncover their potential and achieve what once seemed impossible. I live for the moments when students see their work come to life, realizing they’re capable of creating beauty far beyond their expectations. Teaching isn’t just sharing techniques—it’s igniting creativity and watching it flourish.
There is a $22 pattern fee which will be payable to instructor. Supply list will be emailed to participants.
