About Me
I have been quilting for over twenty years. The last several years I have focused on creating quilted fiber art and hand painted fabric. I have also enjoyed sharing and teaching my original techniques and designs. I love to cut things up - fabric, glass, tile, stone - and put them back together in new ways.
