Julie Bridgeman

Julie Bridgeman is an Educator with BERNINA of America and a self-taught sewist who learned her craft from books and quilt store classes before the online sewing community existed. While she enjoys creating home decor projects and machine embroidery, her true passion lies in making quilts. Julie’s work reaches sewists across the country and around the world through social media, virtual classes, and in-person retreats. Her journey has taken her from working at a local dealer to owning a t-shirt quilt business, and now collaborating with an incredible team at BERNINA of America in the Chicago area, where she lives with her family. For Julie, sewing is more than a hobby – it’s about creativity, community, and giving. You can find her on instagram @juliebsews.
