Welcome to quilting Among Friends. Linda Everhart travels extensively to teach and lecture.  One look at her breathtaking quilts and you'll want to take a workshop to learn her FUSIQUE® technique.  Transform one solid background fabric into a delightful quilt.  What a slick trick!  Lead lines are created without bias lines.  Amazing and easy!

Linda specializing as a pattern designer, travels nationally giving lectures & programs, along with teaching workshops and quilt retreats. It is sew-easy!  The Lord has given Linda the gift of a wonderful technique, FUSIQUE®, (fused reverse appliqué) which enables her to painlessly make quilts.  No more bias tape or turned under appliqué!  Ensemble the top before taking one stitch!  Instructions along with tips are included in each of her patterns.  It is a joy to make quilts using this method!

   Through 12 years of success in sales & marketing, Linda successfully launched her business Among Friends patterns using her innovative technique trademarked as FUSIQUE®,  at International Quilt Market & Festival in Houston 2001.

 In 2003 she designed Mr. Quilt Police® as her new protector of quilts & fabric stash! Returning home from International Quilt Festival 2002, her loaded van and 16 quilts was stolen in Dallas. REWARD FOR THE RETURN OF QUILTS! Each 2003 & 2004 design includes white fabric which remained in the van when it was found empty. That's taking what God gives her and making the best of what she has!  Lost quilts may be seen on Lostquilts.com.

    Major Accomplishments include taping Simply Quilts with Alex Anderson on HGTV Episode 805. Linda demonstrates how to make her  Uncle Sam quilt using Linda's God Bless America pattern. Watch Simply Quilts Schedule for an opportunity to see her demonstration.

    Linda was a featured teacher in Quilting Professional Feb 2004 and a national educator at the VDTA/SDTA 2003 show. She was honored with VIP treatment when teaching in Ireland, Wales and England. Her quilt Shazam was featured on the cover of Quilts and Other Comforts. Quilter's World  Oct. 2003 featured a pattern with Linda's method. Craftrends featured her pattern Sweet Remembrance.

Linda taped a PBS show episode 2011 called Kaye's Quilting Friends in 2005 on her latest pattern called Victorian Elegance.

   She is a member of American Quilter's Society; attends International Quilt Market and International Quilt Festival, and sometimes Nashville and Paducah Quilt shows. Hope to see you there!
