Claudia has been quilting for 25 years but took it up as a serious hobby in 1997.
She made quilts for each of her children and baby quilts for each grandchild
as well as special projects.
She joined online quilters communities and became known by her shortened nickname of "Q"
then started a machine quilting business "Q is for Quilting".
Claudia became interested in making T-shirt quilts when she started doing triathlon and collected
her own batch of event t-shirts. Soon she was making t-shirt quilts for triathletes, cyclists and marathon runners and decided to turn that into a full time business.
Claudia lives in Vancouver, Washington with her husband Larry. She has 6 children, 12 grandkids, a large extended family and cirle of friends.
