Finishing Quilts with Heart, Humor, and a Hint of Trail Magic

Welcome to The Quilting Hiker — where quilts are stitched with experience, curiosity, and the kind of determination you earn one mile at a time. I’m Cathy, a longarm quilter who loves good fabric, good friends, and a good climb. After more than two decades of quilting (and plenty of trail adventures), I’ve learned that creativity grows when you give yourself room to learn, laugh, and enjoy the process.

When you trust me with your quilt top, I treat it like part of your journey — something you’ve poured time, care, and maybe a few muttered words into. My longarm quilting brings texture, movement, and personality to your work, guided by the same steady mindset I bring to the mountains: one step, one stitch, one beautiful finish at a time.

Let’s help your quilt reach its summit — with joy, intention, and a little trail‑inspired magic.

Looking for a Longarm of Your Own?

If you’re curious about A1 Quilting Machines—the quietest, smoothest longarm around—I’d love to chat. Whether you’re exploring your first longarm or looking to upgrade to something that glides like a dream, I’m here to help you understand what makes A1 such a joy to quilt with.

Reach out anytime, and let’s talk longarms, quilting comfort, and finding the machine that fits your creative trail.

Learn to Quilt

Whether you’re threading your very first needle or you’ve been quilting long enough to have a favorite seam ripper (we all do), I’d love to have you join me at the Sew Whatever Classes at Pinetree Quilt Shop in Salem, NH.

I teach everything from beginner basics to advanced techniques, always with plenty of encouragement, practical tips, and a few laughs along the way. Come learn, explore, and stitch with a community that loves quilting as much as you do.
