A few weeks ago I visited the Aurifilosophy—Education for the Love of Thread exhibit, organized by Karen L. Miller and sponsored by Aurifil. This exhibit was part of the quilt show associated with the 2019 International Quilt Market and Festival in Houston, Texas. The exhibit included works of more than 13 Aurifilosophers, designers, artisans, and […]

Members of the Modern Quilt Guild from around the world submitted their quilts for this exhibit that […]

Today, I’m excited to share with you my Shoreline Sweets mini placemat. A few years ago I designed and made my first Shoreline […]
Raise your paws if you love cats and dogs! I’m super excited to release my new Paws Up! quilt pattern. Our recently adopted four-year-old Yellow Lab mix, Casey, was the inspiration for Paws Up! Shortly after we adopted her, we discovered that she not only loves to sleep on her back but it is super […]
Love and friendship have been one of the many themes in my work. My first “love” quilt was What’s the Frequency, Love? (1st place winner in the Small Quilts category at QuiltCon 2015), which led to Big Love, which then evolved into Modern Love. A modern wedding was the inspiration for my Double Wedding Knot […]
