I have always felt privileged to have been born into a talented and loving, generous European family who always put their family first when it came to teaching freedom of artistic expression. As a first generation, I have inherited the good fortune of generations of artists, silversmiths, sculptors, poets, weavers, stained-glass artisans and writers, leading to never ending curiosity of different cultures. This has fueled my passion for travel, teaching and sharing my experiences with people around the world. I have taught in the USA, Germany,Turkey,Italy,The United Kingdom,French Polynesia,Mexico,The Caribbean,Japan and many other wonderful places. I believe language is never a barrier in the translation of quilts!email: Linda@lindampoole.comwebsite: www.lindampoole.comblog: www.lmpoole.blogspot.comFacebook: Linda M. Poole-The Magic of Applique
