Award Winning Quiltmaker Lecturer Quilting Workshop Instructor Sewing Machines Collector
Welcome to my web site, I hope you enjoy seeing some of the quilts I've created and a few of the sewing machines in my collection.
My Grandmother taught me to sew on a hand crank toy sewing machine when I was four years old; so from an early age I have loved working with fabrics and expressing my creativity with needle and thread.
I have been making quilts for almost 35 years and teaching quilting since 1983. When I first started giving workshops my hope was that it would just get me out of the house once in a while; I never could have imagined how far quilting would actually take me. It has given me the opportunity to travel all across the United States and to make several trips to Europe. These travels have allowed me to meet wonderful people, see inspiring quilts and of course........buy more fabric.

I'm very excited to be working on several new pieces to donate to the Heifer International Quilt Auction coming up on November 6th in Chicago. If you would like information on how to attend the auction please check out their website at: http://www.heifer.org/quiltauction.
This is a wonderful charitable organization. If you would like information about how to donate a quilt or quilts to the auction, follow the link from the auction website. They would welcome new, antique, large, small, art or traditional quilt donations.

I was very excited to hear that the quilt I made for the Alliance For American Quilts "New from Old" contest received an honorable mention. All of the quilts made for the contest will be auctioned on Ebay as a fundraiser for the Alliance. Check out their website for more information about when the auctions will be held.
