John Kubiniec was always involved in some kind of crafty thing growing up. His mom, dad and sisters were always making something, and he seemed to always be involved. He had always wanted to quilt and bought a sewing machine on speculation - if he had a sewing machine - maybe he might learn to quilt. He bought a machine but it took four years for him to take it out of the box and begin quilting.
He started by taking classes at The City Quilter and has been quilting for over ten years He created Big Rig Quilting, a quilt design and longarm quilting business in 2008. John's quilt patterns and quilting have appeared in McCall's Quilting, McCall's Quick Quilts, and Fons and Porter Easy Quilts. He also designs quilt patterns for Windham Fabrics and has created samples for Quilt Market. He was a runner-up in the 2010 McCall's Design Star Competition and is a participant in the Handi Quilter - 2011 My HQ Story.
When not quilting he enjoys cooking, reading, and enjoying the cultural scene in NYC.
