"I am an artist using fabric to design works of art. For the last 17 years, quilting has been my passion. I love the process of choosing a pattern and the fabric. I found out early on that I enjoy finding easy ways to design and make quilts. I started teaching quilting 11 years ago and enjoy inspiring new artists. From attending Empty Spools Seminars for several years, I have been privileged to have studied under Ann Fahl, Caryl Bryer Fallert, Carol Taylor, Nancy Elliot McDonald, Jean Wells, Freddy Moran, and Gwen Marston. By taking classes, you take ideas that work for you to form your own works of art. Two years ago, I discovered a technique of putting your quilt on point without cutting any side setting triangles. 

I have also enjoyed the many friendships and fun that teaching others and quilting together has made in my life. As I have been inspired by others to new ideas and creativity, it is most gratifying to see others create their own art. For my classes, I teach from one of my patterns and show cutting steps, easy methods for having flat borders, and more."
