I create quilts that tell stories through color, texture, and form. My work is rooted in improvisation, drawing inspiration from what I see and feel—whether it’s the beauty of nature, the structure of a shape, or the meaning of a Bible verse. Each quilt is an interpretation, a visual conversation expressed in fabric.
My quilting journey began unexpectedly in 2008 during a Quilts of Valor project. Assigned to the cutting table, I learned the basics, and by the end of the day, I was sewing blocks together. When I discovered the creative possibilities within quilting, I was hooked. What started as helping hands quickly turned into a passion that continues to grow.
I often describe my process as puzzle-solving. I enjoy taking orphan blocks, scraps, and unexpected elements and finding harmony within them. Many of my pieces are versatile, functioning as wall art or table runners, while others incorporate photographs on fabric to create deeply personal works.
New this year, I’ve added dining scarves to my collection—designed to help you dine with dignity while keeping mealtime both practical and stylish.
For me, quilting is more than craft—it’s joy, expression, and discovery. Through my work, I hope to share that same sense of wonder and inspiration with others.
