I was first drawn to quilting after watching Eleanor Burns’ “Quilt-In-A-Day” programs. Being unfamiliar with quilts, the weekly program was very intriguing and Eleanor made the entire process look really fun! Because of Eleanor, my quilt journey began by using her traditional patterns in one of her books to make lap-size and baby quilts for family and friends. My true passion for quilting came a couple years later when I began to design and create my own original pictorial and art 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 been exhibited and awarded in juried shows both statewide, and nationally. They've been used in numerous publications, and most are now in private collections.

The culmination of my love for fabric, my faith, and abilities 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 still hold out hope in getting it back one day. If you have any information on this quilt, or see it anywhere, please do contact me. I would be so grateful. |
