Artist Commentary

Label

"I continue to be passionate about quilting after 32 years. I work full-time but make time to quilt 'a little' every day. I have the luxury of a large quilt room and can walk away and leave a project at any point and return whenever I can. Usually there are more than a dozen projects going at once. I'm enthusiastic about learning new techniques and styles. Although I have challenged myself to make wallhangings, I really like making bed quilts. They are used by my family and I enjoy displaying my quilts at my office. I suppose what I want to accomplish with my quilt artistry is to satisfy my own creative desires and to try and please others with my work."
