I've been Quilting for:  20 years

I began to quilt.. I have always loved sewing and wanted to make them for my family.

I learned to quilt.. at a little local quilt shop in my hometown. They had "Hens and Chicks Club" every week; it was open sewing time and the ladies in the "club" there taught me how to make my first quilt.

About my style.. I dont think I have just one style, designs of all types attract my attention. I love things that look complicated but are not complicated to make.  Pieced, applique, foundation pieced...I LOVE them all!!!

My teacher and mentor.. My grandmother Marie made quilts.

I'm inspired by.. Everywhere and everything seems to inspire me....colors..designs in almost anything...I see quilt ideas in the most random places...

I love.. spending time with my children. I enjoy reading and working out at the gym with my husband. 

People should know about me.. I am outgoing and fun, and a little unconventional!! I love new ideas and new friends. I am always the one to volunteer to help or join the committee and jump right in!! I have a new puppy that has stolen my heart and my kids and my husband are the most important people in the world to me!!

I entered Design Star™.. upon the urging of my friend Georjana.  She sent me the link and  strongly suggested I enter.  I am thrilled she did!!  Thank you Georjana!!!
