This is me hanging out with the monkeys in Gibralter!!
I learned how to sew and embroider by hand when I was in second grade, taught by my grandmother and my great aunt.
I got my first sewing machine when I was in 5th grade and have been sewing ever since.


I have been quilting on and off for over 40 years. Quilting “obsessively” (as my husband says) for the last 20+ years. I have been a Traveling Quilt Teacher and Speaker for about fifteen years.


Just about all quilting styles appeal to me. Handwork and machine, traditional to art quilts. I love to try new techniques and ‘tweak’ old ones to make them new and fresh!
I have a small rigid heddle loom to weave my own fabric to incorporate into some of my art quilts. I love playing with the different textures that you can get from different fibers!
I also crochet and knit, and am learning how to tat lace. Never a dull moment!


Personal info:


I am married to a career Army man (he finally retired after 35 yrs Active Duty !!) and have traveled all over the world. We have lived on 3 continents…. we moved 22 times in 35 years. We bought our “forever” house and I don’t intend to ever move again!!
3 children - 2 daughters and 1 son. The girls are in Indiana, my son is in the Army and his location changes as often as ours did! Such is life in the military!
4 grandchildren - 2 girls and 2 boys, all of them in Indiana

Thanks for Sharing in my Quilting Adventures!!
