| Instructor: | Miriam Coffey |
| Instructor Bio: | As a young child, Miriam had a love for textiles and anything she could create with them. She attended Maryland College of Art and studied textile arts. During this time, she taught herself to sew and has never looked back! Miriam has made in impact in the fabric world in many different avenues: fashion design, managing a quilt store, co-owning a long arm quilting business, serving as a textile sales representative, and most excitingly as a Janome Educator. Miriam has been published in articles and appeared on the show Fresh Quilting. Her work has been featured in the Modern Quilt Guild’s “Modern Quilts, Best of the New Century” book. Out of her local and international awards – which includes QuiltCon awards and a Best in Show award from the Asheville Quilt Show - she is most proud of her 1st place blue ribbon from AQS Paducah. In 2024, Janome chose her lead an exchange program with Janome Tokyo, where she taught classes on the Memory Craft 9480 at Janome headquarters to world-renowned quilters, toured the factory and of course shopped local fabric stores. A favorite part of her job is empowering people to do things they thought were out of their sewing skillset. This includes improvisational piecing in quilting to help quilters break out of a straight-line view and look at things from a different perspective. Miriam also specializes in educating Janome owners on learning more modern embroidery techniques. When she began learning to embroider, she challenged herself to learn to use this new sewing “tool” to fit into her aesthetic and not the other way around. By using her embroidery machine to texturize fabric to then cut for piecing, she adds another dimension of texture to her work which is now an integral part of her current quilting style. |
