Instructor Name:Richard Tharp
Instructor Bio:Richard’s passion for sewing began as soon as he was old enough to cut out quilt pieces so it’s only natural that he would end up a quilter as well—and one with a keen eye for design. Growing up in North Central Illinois each year he’d travel to Kentucky to see family and spend his days sewing with his grandmother “Meemaw” and nine aunts. It was during these visits that Richard began to understand how one could make a living from sewing.

Quilt buyers would travel from all over to purchase quilt tops created by those in the community. The buyers would sift through stacks and stacks of quilt tops piled like rugs at a rug sale. This was a memory that would stick with Richard as he grew into a more experienced sewist. He has worked in the garment industry and in retail sales for sewing machine retailers in Colorado.

Richard loves teaching and seeing the student have an ah-ha moment—that moment when it all clicks. He’s adopted a “Learn Inspire Create” concept in his teaching and it’s a philosophy he loves passing along to his students. He’s taught all over the U.S. and Canada and enjoys every opportunity to connect with his students.
