Quilting Since: 1972
Teaching Since: 1975
Teaches: Locally, regionally, nationally, and internationally.
Offers: Lectures, half-day workshops, full-day workshops, multi-day workshops, and judging. I also lecture at trade shows on marketing and customer relations.
Specializes in: Mastering quilt marking, foundation-pieced star patterns, old fashioned handwork patterns (19th century Pineapple, the Manx folded Log Cabin, Conquering Curved Piecing), Drunkard’s Path (machine curves), Sashiko (Japanese hand quilting), various scrap quilt subjects, and Big Stitch quilting.
Pepper Cory was born an Air Force brat and her family moved a lot, mostly in the South. Fortunately both parents encouraged personal creativity. Pepper was destined to quilt but didn’t know it until obtaining a degree in Classics—not very lucrative—and the ulcer that came with it. Now she believes in handwork as a stress alleviator and working with her hands is a passion. She is prone to scrap quilts, combining unexpected colors, and encouraging experimentation in her students.
Along the way, Pepper started collecting antique quilts and researching the designs found stitched in them. That led to designing stencils for StenSource International and these are sold all over the world. Plus she designed other needlework notions (charm quilt templates, foundation templates) and most recently, fabric lines. She’s written seven books so far and there’s always another in the pipeline.
Pepper’s motto: Make the quilt, then paint the bedroom!
