Priscilla Stultz        Wearables Artist Résumé

 email:  quilter73@hotmail.com                  Home

I have been sewing since I was 10 years old and have made clothes for myself and then later for my husband and children.  In 1995, I became interested in quilting and made my first quilt and first art to wear jacket.  I began entering challenges and art to wear competitions in the year2000.  In 2003 I was a designer for the Bernina fashion show “Fantasy”. 

I teach classes and present trunk shows on wearables arts and fiber arts.  I am a designer in the 2007 Bernina Fashion Show and will also a guest designer for 2008. 

I have several original designs of wearable art in production.  I sell a limited number of wearable art pieces under the label Priscilla Creations
