Terry Rowland has been weaving her magic with fabrics since 1979, when she sewed her very first Pinwheel quilt. With a rainbow of colored broadcloth, Terry embarked on a journey that has made her a global quilting sensation.
As a wife, mother of 4 daughters, and current resident of a farm in Central Alberta, Terry brings her unique blend of enthusiasm, skill, and color to every project. Her passion for quilting knows no bounds, and she’s constantly pushing the boundaries of creativity.
Join us as Terry shares her wealth of knowledge and experience, gained over decades of quilting adventures. Her laid-back style will put you at ease as you embark on your own quilting masterpiece. From fundamentals to advanced techniques, Terry promises to be an inspiring and educational experience for all.
Discover the world of Terry Rowland on social media! Follow her on YouTube (Terry Rowland), Instagram (@trowstudios), and Facebook (Terry Rowland - T Row Studios) for a sneak peek into her colorful quilting universe. Don’t miss out on this incredible opportunity to learn from one of the best in the business!
