Clarke, Pam

A dynamo in the quilting world, Pam is the owner of the Log Cabin Dry Goods quilt shop and Home Stitches, a professional longarm quilting business. Her work can be seen in numerous publications and her clients include professional quilters, designers, and fabric and pattern companies. To date, she has quilted over 7000 quilts! In addition, she's made hundreds of her own quilts. Her favorite kind of quilting is to mix appliqué with simple, scrappy-look piecing, a style that has won her numerous ribbons.

Pam developed her "Designs with Lines" machine quilting technique to speed up marking tops. Using simple lines as guides, quilters can create their own individual designs. She has produced stencils, videos, and sketchbooks full of ideas.

Pam grew up in Sacramento, California, and now lives in Spokane, Washington. A quilter since 1970, and a long-arm machine quilter since 1988, she continues to teach machine quilting, piecing, and appliqué classes locally and at venues and shows across the country. She has appeared on Quilt Central and with Linda Taylor on PBS television.
