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 was encouraged by my late art educator husband Oliver.
I also enjoy other fiber crafts including sewing clothes, crochet, and embroidery.

One of my cats, Shadow, must be involved in every sewing project. Here, he is helping me with the beaver collage quilt.
