Toni Raynolds has a deep passion for quilting. Her journey began a little over five years ago when her mother introduced her to the craft following her father’s passing. What started as a small interest quickly became an obsession. Today, Toni owns five sewing machines, including a long arm, is a Studio 180 Design Certified Instructor, and runs Pieced Perfection, her quilting training and educational studio.  Toni’s expertise spans traditional piecing, applique, embroidery, and foundation paper-piecing. She is particularly drawn to traditional piecing due to its geometric patterns and color design. In addition to quilting, she creates memory bears, wreaths, reading pillows, bags, and organizational items. Toni finds inspiration in renowned quilters such as Timna Tarr, Deb Tucker, and Jinny Beyer.

As a member of The Quilt Guild of the Blue Grass and the Kentucky Heritage Quilt Society, Toni also boasts a distinguished 36-year career in financial services, earning her company’s top award three times. She lives in Lexington, Kentucky with her husband, Jim, and together they are proud Airbnb hosts, featuring Toni’s beautiful quilts in their rental homes.
