About Me

Angel Herring has been an award-winning elementary school teacher for 20 years and has a Masters degree in technology. 

She took up sewing after her father passed because she wanted to make a quilt of his clothes. 

She holds several educational certifications and has won many awards for teaching such as the Red Apple award from KHOU and the Educator of the Year from the Children's Museum of Houston. 

In November 2023, I won 1st place in the Novice category for my quilt called, "My Best Furry Friend" which I made for my beloved Gizmo.  I sewed the entire quilt on my 222 Featherweight made in 1957.  I also did the free motion quilting on it as well.  Click HERE for photos and details. 

In November 2024, she was the Featured Quilter at the Hempstead Quilt Show.

She is passionate about all things Featherweight. Her hobbies include spending time thrifting and shopping in antique stores with her husband and Gizmo (her fur baby), sewing, crafting, and sharing her knowledge with others.

I love all things that are vintage from clothes to furniture and pin cushions to sewing machines.  My favorite color is purple.  My favorite stores are thrift stores, Dollar Tree, and any good garage sale.

My little side kick is Gizmo the Human Dog and who is willing to keep me company during any of my sewing creations.  

The pillow pouf below is a class that I teach at local quilt shops.  Let me know if you are interested in having this class at your location.  It is a day of fun with a Dresden 22.5 degree ruler!  

I like working on small projects such as the jacket, shoes, jelly roll rug, chairs, or a quilt that has meaning to me.  I do have a graduate degree in technology and love using tech when possible.  During the school year I am a second grade teacher at the local school district and love teaching the little ones.  They are full of surprises and keep me on my toes.  

During my spare time I enjoy spending time with Gizmo and my husband.  We all like sewing, crafting, teaching Featherweight maintenance class, and collecting autographs of famous people such as country music stars.
