Welcome
Welcome to the world of quilting! I'm a quilt maker, instructor, designer and author. If you share a passion for quilts and beautiful fabrics, you are in the right place!
I offer workshops and presentations featuring basic quiltmaking skills and techniques. Read personal notes from those who have taken my workshops.
Please contact me for specific information about presenting a lecture or workshop for your guild, seminar, conference or shop. Perhaps we will meet at a quilting event in your area! (see the Teaching Schedule).
I invite you to visit my extensive sewing and quilt related sites in the Links section, and bookmark the directory for your own reference.
See my Fussy Cutter 45 Diamond Guide rulers – available in two sizes, and suitable for designs requiring a 45 degree point or diamond shape. A companion set of Quarter and Half diamond rulers are now available for more design options – both ruler sets are featured in the latest books, Quick Star Quilts & Beyond, and Quick Diamond Quilts & Beyond.
The Quilt Show
Join me on The Quilt Show, an online program available world-wide to quilters and quilt afficionados. TQS is the source for up-to-date quilt techniques, interviews, projects and much more! No matter where you live, you're "in the know" and ready for all the latest news — from your favorite arm chair! Watch in the comfort of your own sewing room, wearing your coziest pajamas & slippers, if you wish! I have been presenting a series of "Quilting Basics" – little mini-lessons with snippets and tips to help you refine YOUR techniques with rotary cutting, rulers and other key tools.
