I’m Jean Impey, a passionate quilter, teacher, and speaker with a mission to spark creativity and share the joy of quilting.

Class: The Magic of Fabulous Faces
2026-06-19 09:00 - 15:00
Christ Covenant Church, 6390 North Major Drive, Beaumont, TX, 77713

Renowned quilters Freddy Moran (94 years old) and Jean Impey joined their creative spirits back in 2017 when they agreed to teach a Collage Retreat. Each artist has their own unique style of portraits, and each portrait has a unique story and name.

Freddy and I have developed this workshop and both teach it independently for now. Our process requires a glue stick and basic design principles. We both create our own faces and I quilt and finish all of my own as well as Freddy’s using my own techniques for quilting: “Pencil Quilting” and “Sketchy Quilting.”

I’d dare to claim, this workshop promises to be the most enjoyable one yet! Dive into the art of crafting expressive faces with ease and minimal materials. Then, uncover my unique quilting techniques to bring your design to life, from quilting to binding.

Michelle Walker: Fabulous Fabric Collage
2026-08-20 10:30 - 12:00
Christ Covenant Church, 6390 North Major Drive, Beaumont, TX 77713

My name is Michelle Walker. I have had a love of quilts since I was a little girl that started with a quilt my grandmother made. I took a class in 1999 through the Plano Parks and Recreation and learned the basics. I went on to teach myself new patterns and techniques, mainly through books. I took a class in Wylie and ended up winning a ribbon in 2011 at the Plano Quilt Show for my first show quilt.

​After moving to Beaumont, TX in 2013, I became more involved in quilting. I joined the Golden Triangle Quilt Guild in 2015. I purchased my longarm machine in 2016 and will now share my love of quilting with everyone.

​In 2023, I started teaching on quilt cruises with Stitchin Heaven. Be sure to check their travel schedule of cruises and join us for a week of fun!

​In 2025, I became a certified teacher for Laura Heine fabric collages. I love her collages and now I can teach you her methods to make beautiful art quilts!
