In 1988, Shar created her first set of laser cut, acrylic templates. Her time-saving method of rotary cutting several layers of fabric into customized shapes brought accuracy and convenience to quilt makers. Without sacrificing the beauty of traditional designs, Shar teaches methods for accurately reproducing ageless quilt patterns with ease and efficiency. Her step-by-step instructions, based upon her own hands-on experience, take the mystique out of quilting and insure successful results. In addition to the 130 quilt programs she has taped for PBS, Shar is the author of dozens of books. She has developed over 40 template patterns and a full line of stencils. She exhibits and teaches at over 20 quilting events annually. Through filming, writing, and teaching, Shar continues to share her knowledge and love of the art with quilt makers everywhere.
Shar was named Quilter of the Year in 2009 for Minnesota Quilters, Inc. This award is given to those who have done much to promote the art of quilting, both in Minnesota and internationally.
