Instructor: Tina Harris
Instructor Bio: Tina Harris, a Texas native, has been passionate about sewing and quilting since she was 7 years old. Over the past 30+ years, she has crafted beautiful quilts and keepsakes, honing her skills in longarming, embroidery, and machine applique. Many pieces of her work have hung in museums and exhibits throughout the country. Tina is more than just a quilter. She’s a proud Texas A&M University graduate with over 25 years of experience in education and entrepreneurship. She’s made a significant impact on hundreds of lives through her teaching in public schools, private schools, and in corporate America. After 5 years of renting longarm machines for her Custom t-shirt and Memory Quilt business, Tina stepped out on faith by investing in two longarm machines, the HQ Innity® with Pro-Stitcher® Premium and the HQ Forté with Pro-Stitcher® Premium. These machines have allowed her to customize her quilts beyond edge-to-edge quilting. Currently, Tina enjoys working with rulers and Pro-Stitcher designs while sharing her love for quilting to all who will listen. In her personal life, Tina is happily married to her tech-enthusiast husband, Palance, and is the proud mother of two adult sons. She holds dear a quilt named “Be Strong and Courageous,” which beautifully captures her story through embroidered quotes from her late mother, grandmothers, and great-grandmothers, all of whom were accomplished seamstresses. Tina’s passion, expertise, and creativity would surely make your next event a memorable one.
