About Tina Lueders

Tina discovered her love for Quiltworx patterns in 2007 during a shop hop in Port Lavaca, TX—long before she became a quilter. At the time, she ran an embroidery business specializing in custom horse show apparel. After moving to East Texas in 2018 and joining Stitchin' Heaven, she met Judy Niemeyer at Quiltworx University, sparking the journey to becoming a Certified Instructor. Co-founding Friends of Judy Retreats with Sandra Coffey followed, and certification was earned in 2023. Now, as the Quiltworx Coordinator for Stitchin' Heaven, she teaches on cruises and at the retreat center.

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."
