Meet the Certified Instructors!

Kristen and Elsa will be on hand teaching along side Judy. Each of them will be demonstrating the techniques for making of the blocks in your quilt! You’ll know step by step what you need to do to complete your beautiful quilt.

Kristen Bender • Minnetonka, MN

Kristen has been teaching since 2011 and is thrilled to share Judy’s techniques, tips & tricks with others. She loves to see students’ eyes light up with excitement when they learn about them for the first time.

Her passion for sewing began in Germany at age 9, when she sat with her mother and sewed clothes for her dolls. After she discovered quilting in 2004 her patchwork addiction was born. When she’s not quilting/teaching, she manages an office full of non-quilters and enjoys spending time with her husband and golden retriever.

Elsa Neubauer • Greenville, SC

Elsa’s love of the sewing and creating started young. She made her first quilt in her teens, but was not in love with the processes. In the early 2000s, Elsa decided to give quilting a try again. She saw a Quiltworx ad in a quilting magazine and knew she was up for the challenge and wanted to make that quilt.

She found a quilt shop offering a class and made her first Quiltworx quilt, Summer Solstice. Since then she has attended numerous retreats and has now made over 40 Quiltworx projects and has many more in the queue. 

Elsa loves to share the Quiltworx processes with quilters and has many years of experience in teaching adult learners at a variety of skill levels.
