I love fabric. I think I've always loved fabric!
I enjoyed craft and garment sewing throughout my adolescent years and into my late teens. As a young mother I also made garments and outfits for my two children. Fast forwarding to the year 2000; I inadvertently came across Eleanor Burns and her "Quilt-In-A-Day" program on T.V. and was intrigued with her lovely quilt blocks and rotary cutting - something I'd never seen before! I was SO intrigued that I went out and bought one of her books and some basic quilting tools, and of course more fabric. Consequently, I became an avid quilter soon afterwards and have never looked back. Four years after using patterns to make functional bed, lap-size, and baby quilts, I got out my pencil, sketch book and graph paper and began drawing and drafting my own designs for pictorial and landscape wall quilts. I'm now a quilter with a passion to make predominantly wall-art and competition quilts. |

There is considerable diversity in the style and appearance of my art. I work
according to ideas and inspiration and simply what interests me at the time. I use various construction methods to make my quilts including machine piecing, hand and machine applique, fusing, whole-cloth painting and, for the most part, I do free-motion machine quilting. The common 'thread' in nearly every piece is the use of some type of enhancement, embellishment, and more often than not, dimensional work.
Photography has been another enjoyable hobby since my teen years, and is a very useful tool for many quilters. I've often captured great images which have been the basis for making landscape and pictorial quilts such as, "Resting," "Morning Visitor," "America the Beautiful," and others.
The culmination of my love for fabric, my faith, and the ability I believe God has given me has resulted in quilt-art for personal enjoyment, competition, and to benefit others. I attribute my art work to Him.
