Leisha has been sewing since she was a child, but her love for making quilts started in her early 20's.  In the summer of 2005, Leisha started machine quilting her own quilts.  Soon the word got out and she started quilting for others.  Even with 18+ years of machine quilting experience, she loves learning new things.  Leisha started co-designing paper and digital machine quilting pantographs in 2014 with Patricia Ritter from Urban Elementz, which has been an incredible opportunity.  She released her first solo panto designs in 2018 on her website www.quiltingit.com, some of which are now available in several other panto shops.  One of Leisha's favorite tools when she is custom machine quilting is rulers, and she released her own circle ruler set of 6, called "Circle2™" in the fall of 2018.  They are everything that she's ever wanted in a circle ruler.  Leisha has also taught one on one and group machine quilting classes, and loves teaching her students the techniques that have helped her in her machine quilting career.  In October of 2021, Leisha released an online freemotion quilting course, called Quilting It Freemotion. Which brings her quilting classes into your home. Leisha graduated in interior design, and has used what she learned about color, scale, and pattern, in her designs and quilting throughout her career.  While quilting is her passion, Leisha also enjoys water skiing, running, playing the piano, cooking, and spending time with her family and friends.  She has 14 nieces and nephews, and being their aunt is her very favorite thing that she is.  Leisha lives in beautiful Cache Valley, Utah.  Leisha is excited to see what comes next.
