About Dorie Hruska
Meet Dorie
Award-winning longarm quilter, author, and teacher
Dorie Hruska was born and raised in Springfield, Missouri, as part of a family with quilting and crafting deeply embedded in their genes.
Now that her children have flown the nest, Dorie finds she has more time to devote to her quilting business through teaching, writing, and creating. Her custom work has hung in numerous local and national shows, and she is recognized in the industry as an award-winning quilter.
Dorie has been obsessed with finding the continuous path in quilting since she purchased her first longarm in 2002. Along the way, she became an APQS Dealer, and now she works magic on an APQS Millie. She has continued to develop her quilting and teaching skills through the 22+ years that she has been professionally quilting, and she is so excited about what the future holds in the quilting industry!
In a recent Teacher Spotlight article by Bob Ruggiero, Dorie and Bob discussed her quilting journey and what she envisions for her future, including what Quilting Superpower she might like to have. Read the article here.
Our promise to you
When you choose Forever Quilting, you can expect:
Support & Trust
Every workshop, tool, and piece of material I recommend comes with my seal of approval. It's not just about quilting supplies; it's about creating a space where you feel supported and valued.
Uplifting Guidance
Quilting should lift you up, not bring you down. I'm all about spreading positivity and encouragement, especially when doubts creep in. Let's turn those "I can't" moments into "I did" triumphs together.
Heartfelt Teaching
Quilting is more than just techniques; it's about building confidence, stitch by stitch. I love breaking down the process into easy steps, helping you grow from hesitant to confident. Let's quilt with joy and create something beautiful.
Dorie presents a very systematic, comprehensive courses suitable for all levels of quilters. The lessons are well designed and fun. She provides videos and diagrams of everything that is taught and is readily available to answer any questions. I have learned so much from Dorie and highly recommend her courses!
