What quilters say
Shauna is an excellent teacher. She is knowledgeable, encouraging, explains well, makes sure you understand what you are doing and why, and got the import of my questions when I didn't have the knowledge to formulate a clear question. I am a complete novice, so she made sure I understood the longarm, how to load a quilt, troubleshoot tension issues and think about how I was going to proceed with the quilting design. She gave me advice about where to get supplies too. She gave me a lot of information and the confidence to practice on my own. It is easy to ask her questions and get an answer you can understand. Very highly recommended.

Who is Ladybug Threads?
Hi, I'm Shauna.
I'm a quilter, a mom to a gaggle of kiddos, married to an IT expert, and thoroughly obsessed with sewing. And Mountain Dew. I'm living the dream.
I inherited my aunt's longarm before I'd ever finished a quilt top, which means I learned to quilt backwards — and it's why I'm not the least bit precious about beginners making a mess of things. Everyone starts somewhere.
