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.

Overwhelmed but in a Good Way…
I have been finishing up some deadline projects and that feels good. There is always a bit of stress that goes with that and I often swear I’m not going to get myself into that situation again. But then the … Continue reading
