Featured Quilting Teacher for May 2009 - Dawn Cavanaugh

When choosing this months Featured Quilting Teacher, many names came to mind. We had a handful of nominees but with her recent achievement at The Machine Quilters Exposition (MQX) we had no choice but feature this awesome quilting instructor, Dawn Cavanaugh.

Congratulations Dawn for winning the 2009 MQX Teacher of the Year Award. (pictured below with Sue Patten at The Radisson in Manchester, NH.)
