My illustrations are brought to life with pieces of fabric and a large palette of threads to create one of a kind Artisan applique quilts that embrace my passion for handwork and design.
I invite you to look around for inspiration and information. I have created a FAQ page for common questions I receive and if you are unable to find your answer(s), please feel free to contact me.

My work is always hand appliqued, hand embroidered and in many cases primarily hand pieced. I machine quilt using a domestic sewing machine because I like the texture and pattern I can create which hand quilting can't provide in quite the exact same way. However, I take great pains to make sure that my quilts still have the nice drape that is desirable and not stiff and inflexible as can happen with too much quilting with a machine. I incorporate machine quilting much like our grandmother's did on their trusty treadles because I still want to create that wonderful nostalgic tactile appeal in the finished work. I do not use any glue in the construction techniques of my quilts.
