Classes at Rainfest: Featured Quilter Michele Crawford

Michele has always been involved in sewing and crafts, even as a young child. Her "first business" was weaving potholders and selling them in her neighborhood. From 1980 -1987 she operated, The Stork Port, where she sewed items for babies and children.

After moving to Spokane in 1986, she joined several quilt guilds and met a variety of designers including Debbie Mumm and Pegi White who encouraged her to begin creating her own designs combining counted cross stitch and quilting. This lead to her next business, Cross 'n Quilt in 1987. Her patterns were sold in stores across the country, and in Keepsake Quilting. Michele's 20-year career of designing projects for various magazines and fabric and thread manufacturers continues today.

With much encouragement from her husband, Tom; and Laurette Koserowski, editor of The Quilter, she began to offer Quilt Kits for projects featuring new fabrics in magazines, and Flower Box Quilts was born!
