Quilting makes me skip for joy

I am a C&T author and award-winning art quilter and garment maker. I travel the country teaching the art of quilting on a home machine and inspiring others to do their best work. I blog about quilts, art, garment making and life. Enjoy!

Coming Events

I’ll be teaching in-person again at the Houston International Quilt Festival Oct 25 – 29. You can click here and scroll down to October where you’ll find links to all of my events. I hope you’ll join me!

I responded to your requests and I have created an on-demand course for learning to free motion quilt on a domestic machine! I’m very proud of this course – it is jam-packed with all the information and encouragement you need to learn to free motion quilt. You CAN free motion quilt!

I’m Teaching at Houston Quilt Festival!

Lectures

All lectures include a Trunk Show of my award-winning quilts.

“Quilting Is A Contact Sport!” — A sometimes humorous look at how quilting affects our lives and relationships. Includes a trunk show of award-winning garments and quilts.

“My Journey Through the Artistic Muddle” — My journey as a quilter and artist has not had a direct path! I’ve wandered through some interesting places on the way. I’ll share my joys and triumphs as well as my disasters, all in a humorous and encouraging manner.

Workshops – In Person and Online

Learn fun and creative quilting techniques in a supportive atmosphere. I bring lots of quilts, photos and samples to illustrate what I’m teaching. I use technology to project my demos so that you can clearly see what I’m doing from the back of the class.

I’m happy to design a custom workshop of 1 – 4 days based on the needs of your group.

Find the courage to take on any free-motion quilting project in twenty-one days!
