I am a fiber artist who creates quilted works of functional and decorative art. I learned to hand quilt after suffering a disabling injury that required me to be in bed the majority of the day. Fortunately, it grew into a passion and has become an important part of my recovery and life.

I carefully design and construct every item by hand to create one of a kind art. Each piece I make is signed and dated.

My mother ALWAYS got after me for not being able to match my clothes, so either she had a decidedly different way of matching than I had, or I developed my eye for colors when I grew that big astigmatism in my left eye right around 2000.  Considering that I started sewing in 2003, that's three good years for that astigmatism to blossom---like bacteria in a petri dish.  We would have never discovered penicillin if Alexander Fleming hadn't been such a slacker and left his petri dish lid off allowing his bacteria to get contaminated. Clearly I digress, BUT I must note that my mom and dad would be proud that I am still applying all those years of studying molecular biology in college to my everyday life.  You didn't waste your money mom and dad!!!

Anyhoo...some other facts about me: I have a twisted sense of humor, I’m outspoken (those who know me will think that this is an understatement), and I am, at times, obsessive and compulsive (yet another understatement, I can sense my friends rolling their eyes RIGHT NOW).  It's the OCD stuff that drives me through projects so I'm not complaining.
