Klonda Holt discovered the art of quilting in 1990. She said, “When I first began, I had no idea how my life would change or the joy I would find while creating art using textiles.” In her quest to learn more, she took classes from nationally-known teachers whenever she had the opportunity. Now she spends much of her free time making quilts, wall hangings, commissioned pieces and other kinds of fiber art. Many of her quilt have been exhibited in national show and won awards.
Klonda belongs to the Lee’s Summit Quilters’ Guild, The Rambling River Art Quilters and the American Quilter’s Society in Paducah, KY. She enjoys leading workshops, teaching classless and presenting trunk shows at various guilds.

Mary Durham will teach
~~ 2025 Mystery Quilt ~~
Mary has been sewing and fondling fabric for as long as she can remember, which led to her first job in high school working at a fabric store and her very own sewing machine at age sixteen.
After an 29-year career as a Family and Consumer Science teacher, she has kept very busy machine quilting and babysitting grand kids. She made her first quilt in 1984 when her first child was born, and has had a passion for quilting ever since.
Mary loves all types of quilts but especially enjoys making scrappy pieced ones. One of her proudest quilting accomplishments has been teaching her nine year old granddaughter to sew and hearing her say “This is such a blast!”

Also, thread, ruler, cutting mat, rotary cutter, sewing machine and general sewing supplies.
