Heather Black has always been creative. She spent much of her life working in oil paints, but the cleanup process led her to hang up her brushes once and for all. Lucky for us, she discovered quilting in 2011 and has never looked back. Heather has skyrocketed to success with her bold geometric patterns, playful use of color and unique long-arm quilting designs under the brand name Quilt-achusetts. Her quilts have hung in numerous shows, including the Northwest Quilting Expo, AQS Quilt Week Fall Paducah, Quilt Festivals in Houston and Chicago, and QuiltCons 2016 – 2018. In addition, Heather’s patterns and quilts can be found in magazines (Modern Patchwork, Curated Quilts, and Simply Moderne Magazine to name a few), books (Modern Quilts: Designs of the New Century), and have been featured in newspapers across the country. Her quilt Urban Trek won first place Use of Negative Space at QuiltCon 2018 and is included in the Best of Quilt Con 2018 traveling exhibit. Heather also works directly with fabric designers to design quilts and patterns for display at Quilt Market. She lives in the Pacific Northwest with her daughter. Welcome, Heather!
