Handi Quilter Educational Event Nov 22-25
About the Artist
Nicholas Turcan
Coming to Hawaii November 22th – 25th
Introducing Nick
Nick is a multitalented and very creative individual. His journey began in 2012 with one quilt that quickly turned into several, which made him realize that he needed a better way t finish these quit tops than a small, domestic-sized sewing machine. He purchased his Handi Quilter Longarm machine in 2014 and then then during the pandemic in 2020 he invested in Pro-Stitcher allowing him to keep up with the overflow of quilting for others.
Nick lives on Granville Island in Canada where he quilts for others, films virtual classes and video tutorials when he isnt traveling to teach in person. I met Nick in June at the HQ Retailer Academy where all the educators beg to come to Hawaii. Nick stood out because of his high energy and first hand knowledge of Hawaii, a place he visits often. Our talks made he realize that he is the perfect professional educator that can walk a quilter through the journey of quilting on a sewing machine, moving to quilting on a longarm machine or using the ultimate creative system of digital designs with Pro-Stitcher computerized software. Nick has planned out a great event schedule to give everyone a chance to meet him, show his quilts and answer your questions.
