Welcome to Coffee First Quilt Crew, a cozy corner of the internet where beginners learn to quilt and find their people.

Hey, I'm Lynda Johnson.

I learned to quilt in 2003 after being inspired by my mother-in-law's beautiful quilts. When I'm not quilting, I am running a business, working with my husband David, and being supervised by our German Shorthaired Pointer, Sam. Coffee is a non-negotiable in this house.

I am building Coffee First Quilt Crew because I wish something like this existed when I was starting out, a warm, no-pressure place to learn with people who cheer you on.

If you are ready to learn to quilt but don't yet have a sewing machine, let me help you. I created the Beginner Quilter Sewing Machine Buying Guide for you. Let me help you get over the overwhelm of which machine to buy and get started quilting. Sign up below and get your FREE guide today.
