A former interior designer and student of textile design, Brigitte Heitland has been sewing since she was a young girl. Coming from making her own clothes, German Brigitte learned only a few years ago about quilting, but was at once hooked on. She brings her modern and sophisticated style in her quilts characterized by shrewd simplicity, harmonious color and class workmanship. Brigitte launched her brand ZEN CHIC in 2010 and designs not only quilt patterns but also her own fabric lines. Besides she is an experienced longarm quilter and since modern quilting is so dear to her heart she teaches different classes about contemporary quilting techniques and good use of color. Brigitte is mother of three children and lives with her family in Germany. To learn more about her style you’re invited to visit her website www.brigitteheitland.de
