Quilting Inspiration
Let's Get Started!
Project QUILTING
I am a HUGE fan of the TV show Project Runway, and after watching my first few episodes I right away wanted to learn to make clothes. When I woke up from that delusion, I pondered for a moment what it was about Project Runway that so attracted me. Is it the fashion? Sure. Is it the people? Of course. But I think my real answer is: IT'S THE CHALLENGE. These people are given a task, a few dollars and little time to complete it yet they make the most amazing things. I want to do that!
Teaching
I enjoy sharing my enthusiasm about creativity through teaching and lecturing. I've had amazing reviews from guilds and was honored to be a keynote speaker at the Wisconsin Museum of Quilts and Fiber Arts. Please contact me if you are interested in a virtual trunk show.
Quilt Alongs
I love to do quilt alongs and block-of-the-month tutorials! It's a great way to learn new tips and tricks and add ideas to your creative toolbox. Please feel welcome to join any of these quilt-alongs, sew-alongs or challenges at any time. Then come join us on Facebook in my Challenge Quilt group and share your creations!

My Gallery
For years my grandma told the story of my first "quilt" - which I made at age five from my mom's rag bin ... and included a furry toilet seat cover. Since then, I have improved upon my fabric choices (including designing my own fabrics) and enjoy creating a variety of sewn and dyed items.
Here's a look at some the quilts I made over the years. Enjoy!
