Sharon Hultgren

Sharon Hultgren - Quilter, teacher and author

Sharon Hultgren has been in the quilting industry for the last 18 years and truly knows the time, care and energy that go into each and every quilting project. She has recently joined forces with Airtex to ensure that only the best products go into your quilting projects.

For four years Sharon owned her own quilt shop and enjoyed the uplifting experience of the quilting industry. As she grew with the industry, she created a series of quilting accessories, EZ Quilting, to make quilting projects easier. She has also written numerous books, created other products to assist in the quilting process, teaches quilting classes throughout the country, as well as overseas, and shares her love and passion for the industry with those around her. Sharon especially enjoys weekend quilting retreats where quilters can relax and have fun while learning to quilt. After teaming up with Airtex, Sharon designed Roll & Quilt, perfect for panel quilts and so much more. Sharon resides in northern Minnesota with her best friend and husband, Dale, and when not quilting, she enjoys spending time with her children and grandchildren.
