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 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!

"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.

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.
