Quilting is in my DNA. Both my Grandmother and Mother were hand quilters. I still have a nine-patch quilt made by my Grandmother that was given to me as the oldest grandchild.

Quilting is in my DNA. Both my Grandmother and Mother were hand quilters. I still have a nine-patch quilt made by my Grandmother that was given to me as the oldest grandchild.
In 2008, I discovered Judy’s Amazon Star and I've been a Judy Groupie ever since. I love the sharp points and precision of paper piecing, and Judy's organizational and sewing techniques were made for me.
After retiring from a career in Human Resources in 2013, I began teaching Quiltworx patterns at a local quilt shop. I was certified in 2014 to share these amazing patterns with you!
I love teaching beginners! I've shared the joy of seeing amazing works of art from beginning students who once said, “I could never do that.”
My goal in life is to reduce the abundance of UFO’s multiplying in my studio.
