Quilter's Haven
Rosemount, Minnesota

Alyssa Jagdfeld

My mother started teaching me to sew when I was in the second grade.  Somewhere in a box I probably still have that cow printed vest and shorts outfit!  Through the years I’ve sewn everything from formal dresses to simple coasters, but since finishing my first quilt while in high school, nothing compares to my passion for quilting.  There are always new techniques to learn, new fabrics to work with, and new patterns to be designed.

I am excited to begin teaching quilt classes and am grateful to have been given the opportunity.

Gwen Lundgren

Gwen is the designer and author of numerous patterns that sell nationwide, under the name Touch of Love. She loves to design and teach mystery quilts. She especially enjoys designing new quilts by combining and simplifying traditional blocks.

As much as Gwen likes designing, her first love is teaching and she is known for her patience with students. She has been teaching quilting classes for nearly 20 years. Quilting is her addiction and her goal is to get others addicted. Her classes are always fun and full of helpful quilting tips.

Cindy Fink

I started selling the Bernina line of machines in 1991 for a local Bernina dealer. Over the past 14 years I have enjoyed teaching a variety of classes and clubs for many different Bernina dealers in the Minneapolis/St. Paul area. I am certified in pattern drafting, fitting and alterations plus have operated a fitting and alterations business for ten years from my home.

Denise Boos

Denise lives in Lakeville, MN with her Husband John, 2 dogs (Abby & Rhona) aka "The Girls".  She spends her free time quilting, gardening and RV'ing on weekends, the quilting goes with her in the RV.  She made her first quilt out of old pajamas when she was 10 years old through a community education class.  She continued to sew but not quilting again until 2001.  She worked in mortgage banking for 18 years and recently changed to commercial title insurance.  

Suzy Klein

I think I have always been in love with fiber arts.  I started sewing in middle school and just kept going.  I’ve sewn everything from prom dresses to futon skins. I’ve made hundreds of dolls and I am a total “bag lady”.   I even picked up knitting last year because I decided that just buying yarn because I liked the feel and color, was really a little silly! 

Quilting is my true love.  Fabrics and colors galore!  What is better than giving a quilt to someone you love and seeing them wrap themselves in the warmth of your hard work? Now let’s add fabulous wools to the mix and our creative juices can run wild. 

By day I am an administrative assistant in the Human Resources department for School District 196.  I completed my BS in HR management in 2006.  I have two grown children and reside in Apple Valley with my husband of 24 years and a slightly crazy golden retriever
