Lisa stitched her first quilt more than twenty-three years ago when her sister invited her to a mystery quilt weekend and she has not looked back since.  She has completed numerous quilts and began teaching friends and acquaintances how to quilt fifteen years ago while living in New Jersey.  Her intense love of quilting is infectious and she has led many novices and beginners in weekly quilting classes while living in New Jersey, and has continued these efforts since moving to New Hampshire in 2008.

Lisa’s love of dramatic colors and bold tones are evident in her everyday life and she was naturally drawn to the Judy Niemeyer quilts when she first saw them.   Her first Judy Niemeyer quilt was the Hawaiian Star and since then she has completed many others.  There are always multiple Judy Niemeyer quilts in various stages being worked on in her studio.  This experience gives Lisa a complete command of all the major quilting techniques used to create Judy Niemeyer quilts.

Her love for this art form pushed her to apply to Judy Niemeyer Quilting to become a certified quilt instructor.  She continues to learn the new Judy Niemeyer patterns and techniques to maintain her instructor certification along with learning new ideas, processes and shortcuts to share with other quilters.  Lisa’s love for quilting, and her easy going, friendly personality is ideal for beginning quilters as they learn Judy’s quilting techniques.  She also has the depth and breadth of quilting experience to bring experienced quilters further along in their quilting journey.  Lisa has more than fifteen years classroom education experience working in public school systems which gives her a strong background in breaking down the more complex quilting techniques into easy to understand steps.

Lisa is the owner of Compass Point Quilts & CPQ studio which focuses on teaching the Judy Niemeyer quilt patterns and can be described as an enthusiast of this art form.  Five years ago she opened Compass Point Quilt Shop which specializes in batik fabrics and currently carries over 3,000 bolts of batik fabrics.  She consistently brings in all of Quiltworx’s Timeless Treasures complete collections. Lisa finds herself teaching a variety of Quiltworx patterns regularly when the shop is open. Anytime anyone has a question or problem with a JN quilt that they are working on, they schedule time or just pop in for assistance.  Her geographic focus is the New England region, but is available as needed to travel and teach anywhere in the United States.
