| Most of the time I'm a jeans-n-tshirt person, but here I am dressed in my Renaissance Faire Costume (with a baby dragon on my shoulder). |
| I've been sewing since I was 8 years old and got a Singer Sew Handy. I began making patchwork pieces in college, in the days before rotary cutters or good cottons. I started teaching quilting about 15 years ago. I've taught a variety of quilting techniques (from basics to paper piecing & wearable art design) at quilt guilds, quilt stores, churches, and most recently for Project Linus. I love teaching beginners, including children and teens. Many of the classes I've developed are for people with little sewing experience and no quilting background. I think classes should be fun and no-pressure: most people take a class to enjoy themselves. I delight in the camaraderie of my students as they work together and gain confidence. I do my best to tailor my teaching to each student, whether beginner or expert. During classes, I spend time with every student to ensure success. My passions are batiks, bright colors, oriental prints, and a love of learning something new. I enjoy the challenge of making clothing, as well as the ease of working with fleece. If it's fabric, I love it!!! I'm developing a line of patterns for quilters, based on quilts and other projects I've made. As I get a pattern finished, I'll announce it on this site. |
