    Instructor

    Elizabeth Lee discovered the therapeutic art of quilting in 2018, finding solace in its intricate puzzle of cutting up fabrics and putting them back together.  Embracing imperfection, she aspires to share the joy of quilting, focusing on enjoyment of the process rather than rigid perfection.  Currently based in the Washington DC suburbs, Elizabeth brings her passion to Capital Quilts and beyond, where her love of quilting intertwines with her professional journey.
