Timna Tarr comes from a long line of quilters but did not begin quilting until after studying art history in college. She bought her first longarm in 2001 and started quilting clients' quilts shortly thereafter. Since then she has custom designed and quilted thousands of quilts. Timna's own nationally award-winning quilts are in private and corporate collections and have been seen in numerous exhibits, magazines, and books. She is an in-demand speaker and teacher throughout the northeastern United States and is a member of her local guilds, Hands Across the Valley Quilters Guild and the Northampton Modern Quilt Guild.
