Who is Quilter Girl?

{ My name is Rachel }

...and I am a professional long-arm quilter and provide a service for those who prefer piecing and leave the machine quilting (or longarm quilting) to the professionals.  I have been in business since my machine was delivered late in 2006 - thanks to my husband investing in me and my creative innovation. My friendly {smile}, clean, smoke free studio is located in Western Washington - Renton to be exact.  My quilting is done using a Gammill Statler - top of the line digital technology for a smooth, consistent and professional look.  I have a large variety of traditional, contemporary and artistic designs full of imagination and personality. When combined with your beautifully pieced quilt tops - my pattern and thread selection will surely compliment your piecing!

{ Inspiration }

I’m a third generation quilter inspired to start my own business by my aunt, Laura Heine. {a link to her shop is to the right under  'Love it Links'.  She is an award winning – internationally acclaimed Longarm Quilter from Montana, who has been quilting for 23 years and has been business for herself over a decade and half (check out her website in my favorite links section.)

If you are interested in making an appointment do discuss Longarm quilting services please call me and we will coordinate a meeting time either at my home/studio or a near by quilt shop.

In the meantime, feel free to explore patterns, pictures and other links throughout this site. Examples of finished quilts are found under "Gallery" and quilting pattern /design options are found under "Patterns".

Thank you for visiting!

Hi Rachel - great website! I'm curious how long you've been machine qulting for, and how you learned to use the machine..?

Thanks!

Hi Jera,
Thank you for the compliment! I've been machine quilting for 3 years. Before I had my business, I would take and quilt my quilt tops in Montana on my Aunt's longarm machine. She encouraged me to pursue my own business here in Seattle. Prior to purchasing my machine, I took 4 days of classes at Innovations Machine Quilting Conference (Tacoma) to research the different type of machines and understand longarming as a business rather than a hobby. I still continue to take classes at Innovations every year since I purchased my Gammill Statler. If you have any more questions, please feel free to email me at rachel.kornell@quiltergirl.com or respond with a comment. :)

Thanks!
-Rachel
