I love quilting! I love every type of quilting! I want to do it all! Don't bother me with details about cooking or cleaning -- there's a quilt in my head waiting to come out! There are fabrics beckoning, paint and markers calling, threads twirling, patterns waiting to be drawn, techniques to be tried...

That's me! And I'll bet that is you as well. Aren't we fortunate to be quilters!

So, welcome to my world. Browse through the pattern section. I design, sew, and quilt each one myself. You'll find a variety of patterns using piecing, applique, redwork, and trapunto. You'll find subjects that I love -- Christmas (the reason I began quilting), rabbits (saucy little characters that remind me of my family and friends), and flowers, glorious flowers (of which there are more to come).

Welcome to my teaching world. I was born to teach, (even have a teaching degree) so combining two of my favorite pastimes -- quiltmaking and teaching -- allows me to be an enthusiastic, passionate teacher. That means students get both serious technique and simple, joyful creativity all in the same class. Spend some time looking over the programs and workshops offered.
Think about the idea of a retreat -- more and more quilters are selecting that option, either on land or sea! I'm becoming a seasoned veteran with them and I love to help plan special events.

I have been blessed to have received awards. Among them are: Best Of Show, Judges Choice, Best Machine Quilting, and numerous blue ribbons
I have had quilts juried into Paducah and Nashville, and was a finalist in the Quilter's Newsletter 35th Anniverary Quilt Contest. I was also nominated for Professional Quilters Magazine Teacher of the Year 2005.
Lastly, and equally important, I founded and am president of EduQuilters, Inc.,an education organization of wonderful volunteers who teach children to quilt. Because of this effort, I was awarded the Jefferson Award for Public Service. Please visit EduQuilters through the link.
