Kristin Echols
A Lesson in Every Quilt
Friday, May 8, 2026
Pine Lake Covenant Church
Come see over 40 of Kristen's quilts and hear her story and value from making each one. Over half the quilts were made using the Quilt-As-You-Go method, but she will also show other quilts and techniques tried over the years.
Included is a short video on how to make a two-sided binding, along with the ugliest quilt Kristin's ever made with a deep dive into what whe learned in the process!
Kristin began quilting in 1999 when she made a baby quilt for her best friend. She made the quilt using the fabric from the bridesmaid's dress she wore in the wedding, where she learned that acetate is not the best fabric choice for a baby quilt, but she got the quilting bug. It was a colorful and creative outlet to balance with her career as a computer programmer.
Kristin retired from the county of Sacramento where she spent 23 years as a computer geek. When not quilting or teaching, she enjoys spending time with her hisbandShawn, their three grown children and two grandkids. They live on 18 acres in beautiful Worley, Idaho where they enjoy gardening and raising chickens.
