I have crafted, painted, stitched, and studied art all my life. My parents encouraged my love of art.

 

For over 20 years I took classes from well-known teachers at Sisters, OR. These classes gave me the confidence to teach quilting. Since the 1990s,

I have taught classes in watercolor, appliqué, landscape, use of ethnic fabrics, crazy quilts, and string quilts. I have taught classes in quilt shops and in my home studio for over 20 years.

 

In 2019 I was the Featured Artist for Clark County Quilters. I exhibited over 150 quilts of my own, and over 20 quilts done by my students. I have won numerous awards for my quilts.

 

These are my favorite things:

• Giving quilts away to family and friends

• Attending quilt shows

• Solving quilt problems

• Being with other quilters in small groups and at guild meetings

• Quilting, especially, making “picture quilts” such as landscape quilts
