Meet HollyAnne Knight

My name is HollyAnne Knight, and it's my job to guide you to quilt with confidence. 

I believe every quilter can finish their own projects on their home sewing machine, and I can’t wait to show you how! I love spending my time connecting with Quilting Rockstars like you, working at my brick & mortar shop String & Story on Main, and quilting for myself and others. Out of the office, I’m usually spending time with my family and our pets or training for a marathon with Team Breakthrough T1D. 

I’ve been teaching free motion quilting online since 2017, and I’ve had the delight of collaborating with amazing companies like Missouri Star Quilt Company, Aurifil, Make Modern Magazine, QuiltCon, and more. I have 3,000+ students in Quilting Rockstar University, representing all 50 states and 18+ countries worldwide.
