Dierdra "Didi" McElroy is an internationally recognized quilt artist specializing in
technique and hand workmanship. She has produced a video entitled That Perfect Stitch, written numerous magazine articles, and developed the
Roxanne brand name. Roxanne products have had a significant impact on the quilting industry. Didi's work has been viewed at
every major quilt show in the United States. She was the Featured Artist at the Houston International Quilt Festival in 2003. She was a guest
artist twice on Alex Anderson's program "Simply Quilts" which aired on the Home & Garden channel.
Didi graduated from Texas A&M
University. Because of her training at the University, she brought her knowledge of Biomedical Science into the quilting world. She shows her
students how to create tiny perfect stitches without stressing their joints and tendons or aggravating preexisting conditions, such as Carpal Tunnel
Syndrome. Her talent for breaking complicated tasks down into very specific, manageable steps insures her students' success and makes her a highly sought
after instructor. In 2000 she led her first "Insider's Tour to Tahiti" and since then she has taken other groups to
Tahiti. She would love to have you join her on her next "Insider's Tour to Tahiti". You can see photos of her other tours by clicking on the
