If we haven't already met, my name is Brittany and I am the owner, designer and educator behind Lo & Behold Stitchery. I have been designing quilt patterns since 2017 and teaching online quilting classes since 2021. Before quilting, I was a Neonatal ICU nurse for 7+ years, where I especially enjoyed the teaching aspect of the role. It was here that I discovered my love for meeting others where they are to transform their skillset and knowledge in a way that may not initially seem possible.
Now, as a online educator and designer, I am honored to have a similar role in the lives of others. We've had thousands of students go through our online quilting courses and the transformation is always so inspiring. Through bite-size lessons and thoughtful curriculum, I have put so much care and thought into our program and I would love to see you inside!
