    Jaimie Davis - The History and Mystery of Baltimore Album Quilts


    Formerly a scientist, Jaimie Davis is an award-winning quilter who began quilting in 1993. In addition to making quilts, she designs patterns, kits and technique-based workshops and travels widely to teach for quilt guilds, retreats and quilting festivals.

    Jaimie has taught and lectured for the International Quilt Festival in Houston, Texas, The American Quilters Society, Mancuso Quiltfest Virtual Schoolhouse and Road to California as well as guilds throughout the United States and England.

    Her work has been shown in national and international exhibits including the International Quilt Show in Houston, Texas, and the Pacific International Quilt Festival in Santa Clara, California.

    Jaimie draws inspiration from color and curvy lines and loves to add a touch of whimsey to every project.

    She and her husband live in Portland, Oregon with a whole bunch of quilts, a lot of great books, a turtle their kids left behind and a never-ending supply of Diet Coke.
