Jeannine Grabowska
Gardening, hiking, decorating, sewing, and entertaining are some of Jeannine’s favorite activities when she’s not working. Volunteer work has also always been important to her. She has enjoyed being a wife and mother, but also enjoys working and staying busy.
Career life for Jeannine started in the hospital laboratory. After enjoying 29 years as a Medical Laboratory Technician, she decided in 2015 to begin a new career venture in small business, quilting for others. Her previously loved HQ Avanté® with Pro-Stitcher® was purchased in 2016, and the learning began. In January of 2017 she launched Chickadee Cottage Quilting, and the true adventure commenced! In the four years that followed the business grew rapidly, creating a need for a new HQ In nity® to be added to her studio. She has become an award-winning quilter, earning awards for her professional quilting. Imagine her joy when she was given the opportunity to be a part of the Handi Quilter National Educator team just a couple of years later!
Jeannine enjoys teaching and sharing the knowledge she has gained quilting on her longarm machine with new quilters to instill con dence and joy in their quilting journey! Her experience in free-motion quilting, ruler work, Pro-Stitcher, and PS Designer allows her to teach all aspects of longarm quilting. She is looking forward to working with you to create successful, fun events for your customers!
