Bobbie Bergquist
Bobbie Bergquist is a quilt maker who strives to keep things simple quick and fun. She was the inspiration for Quilters Treasure whose goal is to give quilters an artist pallet. Bobbie wanted to make a stained glass quilt and found nothing available to meet this need. Her husband Joel created fabric which has inspired her & many other quilters to expand their creativity.

Among the new and revised techniques include “Stained Glass Quilts”; “Appliqué for Cheaters”; “Quilt-As-You-Go”; “Marbling on Fabric”; “New Ways to Use Tsukineko Inks”; & her latest “Instant Stained Glass”. Starting May 2008 Bobbie introduced a new class “Painting on Silk & Cotton with Rocco Paints”. She also continue to shares with her class, how to make perfect mitered corners on bindings, how to make all blocks the same size and other quilting tips.
