Hi there! My name is Teresa Kent. I am a former elementary school librarian, quilter and dog mom who lives in the northwest Atlanta suburbs. I like to dabble in all the things fabric related – quilting, garment sewing, home dec, hand embroidery and cross-stitch. I also love to teach others how to sew and explore the geeky side of crafting.
From 2014-2019, I ran a successful maker club for students at two different schools that was funded, in part, by grants and donations, with the rest paid for by me. It was truly a labor of love. While our instructional model may have changed due to COVID, I continued to incorporate maker activities into my library’s programming until retirement.
My students’ work has been exhibited in the 2015, 2019, 2022, 2024 and 2026 Georgia Celebrates Quilts show sponsored by the East Cobb Quilters Guild. I served as the 2026 Block Party (kids’ exhibit) chair. I have taught children’s and adult sewing classes at Stitch N Quilt, Cottontail Quilts and the Southeast Quilt & Textile Museum (SQTM). I currently teach privately out of my Smyrna studio and offer group classes at the SQTM in Carrollton. I also support teen sewing programs at public libraries in Cobb, Fulton and Paulding counties. Technical editing services are still available as my schedule allows. Please reach out if you need this service.
When not behind a sewing machine or lost in a book, you’ll probably find me volunteering with CAREing Paws, a therapy animal group, of which my dog, Sadie, and I are members and a registered R.E.A.D. team (R.E.A.D. stands for Reading Education Assistance Dogs). Sadie and I are also a nationally registered therapy dog team through the Alliance of Therapy Dogs (ATD). We average 50 visits per year to schools, libraries, colleges and various corporate events.
