Ricky Tims

Ricky Tims has successfully blended two diverse passions into one very unique and interesting career.

He is known in the international world of quilting as an enthusiastic and encouraging teacher, an award-winning quilter, and a talented and spellbinding speaker. He co-hosts the popular interactive web magazine, The Quilt Show, with Alex Anderson. His quilts have been displayed worldwide, and are highly regarded as excellent examples of contemporary quilts with traditional appeal.

Ricky is passionate about quilting, and is delighted to share his experience and enthusiasm with quilters of every level of expertise. He is challenged by creativity in all forms, and encourages individuals to cultivate self-expression, reach for the unreachable, and believe in the impossible. Quilting is a relatively new interest compared to Ricky's lifelong passion for music. He began formal music lessons at the age of three. He is a pianist, conductor, composer, arranger, music producer, and performing artist. Tims’ music is neither classical, new age, pop nor world, and yet it could fall under any of those classifications.
