Peggy Martin began quilting in 1981, piecing and quilting everything by hand. A few years later, when quicker methods were being discovered, she became hooked on finding faster, easier ways to make quilts. When she began teaching in 1985, she continued to develop more streamlined, fast, fun methods of working. She enjoys expanding on traditional quilts with new variations and color-play. Her favorite quilts are those which are fast, easy to piece, and offer many design possibilities.
Peggy has been presenting programs and workshops at guilds and seminars since 1988. She has been nominated for Professional Quilter's Teacher of the Year. She has exhibited quilts in the San Diego Quilt Show, Road to California, the IQA show in Houston, AQS in Paducah, and Tactile Architecture IV. She lives in San Diego, California and is married with two grown sons.
