Artist Commentary

Label

“Fabric and thread have been my passion since I began sewing at age five. After working as an heirloom sewing designer and author for 16 years, I began quilting in 2004. My love of lace and delicate details works its way into my quilts. I often include digitized machine embroidery in my quilts, and strive to make the embroidery an integral part of the design.”
