Dawn HeeseDawn Heese is a third-generation quilter and cross stitcher. Inspired by a quilt in a magazine, she bought her first rotary cutter and mat in 1999 and hasn't stopped quilting since. She particularly loves needleturn applique and hand quilting. Her loe of traditional designs stems from fond childhood memories of being surrounded by quilts. Dawn lives in Columbia, Missouri, where she works part time as a hairstylist. Mom to two grown sons, she is also a member of the Boonslick Trail Quilters Guild as well as several sewing groups. She teaches and presents trunk shows at quilt shops and guilds nationwide.
