She began her quilting journey in 1985 and her development and exploration started with the traditional designs and techniques. Even then she experimented to find her own way and style to work with fabric. "Find out the rules and determine to break them." She is an award-winning fiber artist and international exhibitor. In her prior life she was a couture dress buyer for 17 years and never considered that quilting would be a large part of her life.

Day one: Need to lighten up? Not having any quilting fun? Then, this workshop's for you. Intuitive and improvisational, we'll play liberating games at your sewing machine. We'll lift four "games" from the above quilt... slice fabrics, trade slivers of blocks, and hunt for bright colors just begging for a place to land in a quilt. You will return home with a few oxymoron blocks, in random order. Can't you see it now? Fabrics all over the floor... mayhem, chaos, delightful laughter.
