Stephanie Pennington-Grant
Originally from Darby, PA, a small town outside of Philadelphia, Stephanie moved around the US, Canada, and the Caribbean before arriving in NC in 1977. If she is not quilting, then she is either reading a book, or traveling somewhere. Her main quilting focus, is piecing, especially curved piecing. Recently, she began to incorporate embroidery into piecing, either as the main focus or as a quilting element.
