I am an Award Winning self-taught quilter, fiber artist and author. My first quilt was a tee-shirt quilt, which I enjoyed making, but felt limited in the ability to express my artistic capabilities. Within several months, I began to design pictorial landscape quilts using raw edge applique, thread painting, and a variety of embellishments. Never knowing the “rules” I broke a lot of them, but with exciting results!
Amazingly, my first art quilt, “Mother’s Day”, was entered into a National Show and won a Blue Ribbon. This has led to numerous awards, recognitions and opportunities in the quilting world. Several proud accomplishments for me are; “McCall’s Quilt Designer 2012 – Professional Category” for McCall’s Quilting Magazine; also an endorser and sample maker for Northcott and Timeless Treasures fabrics, and Ambassador for Mettler Threads and Brother Sewing.
Currently, my second book, “Thread Paint as you Go” (due for release October, 2020) focusing on raw edge applique and thread painting to add shading, highlighting and definition. My first book, “Creating Art Quilts with Panels” –working with Fabric Panels to create dimension and texture with threads and embellishments- Creating a style of my own! I love to teach and share my tips. One of my greatest accomplishments is when a student creates their own Art work following my technique of Dimensional Thread Painting!
