TONI RAYNOLDS simply loves quilting. Her mother taught her a little over five years ago after her father passed. She then decided to join her church’s quilt ministry. Little did she know quitting would become an obsession and passion. Fast forward to today and she now owns five sewing machines including a long arm, is a Studio 180 Design Certified Instructor and proud owner of Pieced Perfection, a quilting training and educational studio. Toni loves all forms of quilting and is well versed in a number of styles. She gravitates towards traditional piecing because of her fascination with creating patterns and design with geometric shapes and color. Her expertise includes traditional piecing, applique, embroidery, and foundation paper- piecing. Her skills also extend to fabric related crafts such as memory bears, wreaths, reading pillows, bags, and organizational items. Toni is inspired by award winning quilters such as Timna Tarr, Deb Tucker, and Jinny Beyer. Toni is a member of The Quilt Guild of the Blue Grass in Lexington, Kentucky, and the Kentucky Heritage Quilt Society. Aside from quilting, she has a 36 year distinguished career in the financial services industry and is a three-time recipient of her company’s most prestigious award. Toni lives in Lexington, Kentucky with her husband, Jim. Toni and Jim are also proud Airbnb hosts and Toni’s beautiful quilts are featured prominently in their rental homes.
