Cathie Zimmerman started piecing quilts 18 years ago.  She fell in love with the piecing process but had trouble finding a longarm machine quilter to finish her quilts the way she envisioned them.

What to do…

Cathie purchased a longarm quilting machine and started finishing her own tops.  Within a year, she felt comfortable enough with her skills to start quilting for others.   She was able to hone her skills using a variety of printed pantographs, lots of free-motion, and finishing many custom quilts.

Flash forward through home longarm business, quilt-shop owner/operator, longarm educator, machine technician, and product test/development to today.  It’s an unusual skill set and she feels blessed to have been able to apply this to designing.

“I quilt, and I know things – that’s what I do.” 

E2E or customized, finishing quilts is what it is all about. Cathie says she has the best career in the world, designing digital quilting patterns and coordinating the Pro-Stitcher web site designs.  Living the dream!
