I was first drawn to quilting after watching one of Eleanor Burns’ “Quilt-In-A-Day” programs. Being unfamiliar with quilts, the weekly program was very intriguing and Eleanor made the entire process look very fun! I began my quilt journey by using traditional patterns to make lap-size and baby quilts for family and friends. My real passion for quilting came a couple years later when I started designing and creating original art and wall quilts. |

I enjoy developing different methods and ideas and have a wide range of design, use of color, construction, and techniques, in my quilts. The common thread throughout my work is the use of fabric enhancement, embellishment,
and more often than not - dimensional features.
I've been quilting for more than 2 decades; entering my first competition in
August of 2004. My quilts have appeared in juried shows both statewide,
and nationally. They've been used in numerous publications,
and most are in private collections.

The culmination of my love for fabric, my faith, and the ability God has given me has resulted in quilt-art for personal enjoyment, competition, and for the benefit others. I attribute my work to Him.
Really 'Wild' Flowers! Second Season - 62" x 65". It went missing in November 2011. There is a reward for its safe return, no questions asked |
My missing quilt, "Really 'Wild' Flowers! Second Season" has not found its way home. Yet. I hold out hope in getting it back one day. If you have any information on this quilt, or see it anywhere, please contact me. I would be so grateful. |
