With a background in visual arts, design, teaching, and filmmaking, Eva brings a fresh perspective to quilting.

And she has a unique “quilt painting” workshop where you make the iconic Starry Night by Van Gogh. Eva has a wonderful way of bringing out the quilt artist in you. But today, we are about to feature her latest adventure which has gripped my attention like a good magical mystery novel – we are going to dive into every detail that we are allowed to share so far about the DARK MAGIC SAMPLER.  Eva believes there's an artist inside every one of us—we just need the confidence to let it out.
