"Quilting should be fun!"

That's the philosophy of quilt teacher Lucy A. Fazely. "If you're having fun, you'll make more quilts and quilting will be a hobby that will give you pleasure throughout your entire life."

An independent quilt designer, Lucy added author and fabric designer to her list of accomplishments with the 2002 release of Quilt Style and the 2003 release of her first fabric line, Watercolor by Number.

She has been a contributing writer for The Quilter Magazine (formerly Traditional Quilter) since 1999 and has been a regular contributor to Quilter's World (formerly Quick & Easy Quilting and Quilt World) since 1994. She's had eight booklets of quilting designs published by House of White Birches and All American Crafts. Since 1999 she has self-published designs as Lucy Fazely Designs. Her designs have been featured in Better Homes & Gardens Special Interest Publications, Quilting for Christmas, Quick & Easy Patchwork, McCall's Quilting, McCall's Quick Quilts, Quilting Ideas, Quilt Almanac, Miniature Quilts, Quilting Today, Arts & Crafts Magazine, Fabric Trends and Quilts & Coordinates. Her work has also been included in fifteen quilting books including Fun Photo-Quilts & Crafts by Ami Simms (Mallery Press, 1999) and Strip Quilting Projects 9 by Kaye Wood (Kaye Wood Publishing, 1993).

Lucy has been teaching/lecturing on a variety of quilting techniques since 1993 and is currently teaching coast to coast. Working with fabric, batting, thread and template manufacturers, Lucy designs quilts for national and international quilt trade shows and has designed many free pattern handouts for the fabric manufacturers. Her quilts have traveled around the United States, to Europe, Asia, Japan, Australia and New Zealand representing RJR Fashion Fabrics, Princess Mirah Design Bali Batiks, Northcott, Kaufman Fine Fabrics, P&B Textiles, David Textiles, Sew/Fit Templates, Coats & Clark, and Kreinik Metallic Threads. Her distinctive style is easily recognized by many in the quilt world.

Lucy often writes the directions and includes illustrations for the quilts she designs for publications. Her ability to break down even complex patterns into simple terms everyone can understand is a skill her students appreciate. Her humorous and easygoing style creates an atmosphere of fun in which to learn.

Lucy is currently switching to a career in screenwriting. She has completed the coursework for a Screenwriting Certificate through UCLA Extension – an online program.

Lucy's son, Jeremy, is a proud member of the US Air Force.

Jeremy and Lucy	"Her Highness Lady Jane Burns"
Lady was adopted in July 2002 from the local shelter. She is a Basset Hound/Shepard mix - or so we've been told. There isn't much question about the Basset Hound part when you see her running on those short little legs! She is extremely gentle, smart and very good natured.
