Telene is an avid quilter, designer and free motion quilt teacher from Gauteng, South Africa. She is a 
Handi Quilter International Ambassador and a South African Quilters’ Guild Accredited Quilt 
Teacher. Telene has won numerous prizes for her quilts and attained Master Quilter Status from the 
SAQG. She has proudly had quilts on display internationally as well.
Telene’s mother taught her to sew when she was young and her obsession for quilting stems from 
her passion for sewing. She completed a BTech in Interior Architecture and during her studies, she 
became involved in her parents’ sewing machine dealership where she taught a variety of basic 
sewing lessons. During her time in the corporate world (2002 - 2010) as an Interior Architect, she 
started quilting. In January 2011 she began teaching basic quilting classes which developed into 
quilting for clients, specialising in custom free motion quilting. She has taught at several local as well 
as international events and is currently teaching virtual classes online from her home.
Her love for design showed with the creation of her own line of whole cloth quilt patterns for free 
motion quilters. Telene is also a designer for Full Line Stencil Company and Honest Fabrics where her 
unique designs can be found on versatile stencils and printed fabric panels. Telene’s quilt designs are 
now also available in digital format for computer-aided quilters with the masterful digitizing of Mary 
Beth Krapil.
Free motion quilting is Telene’s absolute passion, and she is a firm believer that everybody can quilt. 
Her goal is to inspire students to simply try, as she knows they will never look back!

DETAILED COURSE DESCRIPTION:
Quilting with rulers has been ground-breaking for free motion quilters to obtain super straight lines 
and smooth curves. Rulers also assist with wonderful design opportunities. Beginners will learn the 
basics of ruler work; correct handling, stitch-in-the-ditch and basic design options. Advanced quilters 
will dive into more challenging rulers and designs in order to either form a foundation for additional
free motion quilting or as stand-alone designs. Quilters will work on a vibrant custom printed top, 
from which a lovely wall-hanging, table topper or cushion cover can be made
