Gloria Stahlhut
Glo (Gloria Stahlhut) started quilting over 25 years ago, making her a third-generation quilter. She found that quilt shops carried limited wide backs for quilts. Glo started her business, Quilted Glo, in 2007 to focus on wide backings, while she was an executive for a large company. She retired from her professional career in 2017 to focus on her business and her passion for quilting. She travels to numerous states to speak or provide workshops for quilt guilds and vend at quilt shows. Glo’s business is e-commerce and she has sold wide quilt backings throughout the US and in many countries around the world. She has expanded her business to include Hot Fix, panels, pre-cuts, kits, patterns, and tools. Glo’s husband is an engineer and woodworker. He turns the seam rippers and creates the quilt hangers she sells. Join us as she helps us to explore a new applique method called Hot Fix. Hot Fix is an adhesive for applique that can be used to applique fabric on numerous mediums such as fabric, wood, burlap, felt, paper, and canvas. Hot Fix can be used by either the seasoned quilter who does applique or the novice who has never appliqued previously. This new approach to applique can be stitched around the applique like traditional methods but does not need to as it is permanent and keeps the threads of the fabric from fraying. What a new and useful tool to have in your sewing studio!
