About Tina Lueders

Tina's love of sewing comes from her Grandmother who gave her a needle, thread and scrap fabric at the age of 4. She has been sewing ever since, mostly doing garment sewing. When she started working as a secretary and needed a professional wardrobe, she began making outfits from patterns that were fashioned after “Dynasty”. She's owned her own commercial embroidery business and also made custom western apparel for many clients. "I’m a fairly “young” quilter, taking up the art of quilting about 15 years ago. I walked into a little quilt store with a friend and fell in love with Judy Neimeyer patterns. The next week she was taking a class, and lovin’ every minute of it. Her favorite type of quilts are paper piecing and after helping with Quiltworx University and retreats here at Stitchin’ Heaven, Tina decided she loves teaching and is now a Quiltworx Certified Instructor.

Here's what our customers are saying about our Trips, Retreats, and More...

“

"Please don't hesitate you will have new friends from across the country for a life time. It is fun and regardless if you are an older beginner or an advance quilter you will learn and pass your experience on to others. You will not be disappointed. PS I am a shy person and relaxed and had a great time."

"This is the first trip of this kind that I have taken and am already saving to take another! Our "bus moms" Sandra and Nancy were beyond great! The value of the experience, tours, acoomodations, etc. were well worth the price of the trip!."

"For transitioning from cruising to land for a quilt retreat, Stitchin Heaven did an amazing job. There were lots of little gifts and surprises along the way. Chocolate was handed out when called for. The excursion to the fabric shop was lovely and the lunch they provided top notch. The trip to the Titanic Museum was one that I will not forget for a very long time."
