Meet the Creator and Owner
HI, my name is Chris McCarron and I am the creator and owner of Next Chapter Quilting. I recently retired after more than 30 years in education, with my last 12 years as an elementary school principal. As I closed the chapter on my career, everyone asked what the "next chapter" in life would be for me. I found that I really had no answer to the question.
It wasn't long after retirement that I rescued my sewing machine from the closet and rekindled my past joy of sewing and creating. I realized how much I love the process of creating art with fabric. With each new product that I completed, the view into the "next chapter" became clearer and the business, "Next Chapter Quilting" was born!
