In addition to quilting, I am a wife, mom, ELL educator, hiker, gardener, and animal lover. My first finished quilt was in 1992, so I guess I could say I have been creating quilts for 30 years.
My inspiration and love for quilts came from my family: my aunt Gladys, my sister Deanna, and my mom Leona. My inspiration for art began with my sister Darlene and is encouraged by my art educator husband Oliver.
I also enjoy other fiber crafts including sewing clothes, amigurumi, and embroidery.
Our household currently has three cats and a host of other critters. This is Shadow, who must be involved in every sewing project. Here, he is helping me with the beaver collage quilt.
