Meetings

January 28, 2012 in Littleton at South Fellowship Church
Lois Hallock: Your Perfect Quilting Space
Workshop: January 29: Quilt Studio Planning & Design
www.Clearview-Designs.com
Lois is a quilter, Professional Engineer, and a Professional Organizer. She was born and raised in a Mennonite Community in Pennsylvania, where the values of simple living, peaceful co-existence, and Christ-like behavior are modeled in everyday life. She has a Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering and has worked for years in Research and Ergonomics in an aircraft manufacturing plant. Her career has been focused on cost and labor reduction through process improvements that maximize the efficiency of the factory worker. The efficient work environment is set up ergonomically with Parts, Plans, and Tools accessible.

Lois’s two worlds of quilting and engineering have collided to form a new synergy in her life. She has applied her organizing and problem solving skills with her passion for quilting, forming a whole new perspective on Quilt Studio Design. The energy and enthusiasm created by following her passions launched her into the Professional Organizing business.

She has successfully designed over 100 quilt studios to date and published many magazine articles. She lectures, teaches, and consults annually at the Fall International Quilt Festival in Houston, Texas. She currently resides in Seattle, Washington with her husband and teenage kids. Feel free to contact her via email for any questions you might have: clearviewdesigns@comcast.net
