Artist Commentary

"I was a hand quilter but when I started doing more complicated piecing, I knew that quilting them by hand wasn’t an option. Large quilts, a lack of desire to tackle them on my domestic, a lack of talent for quilting designs, and wrist surgery all led me to looking for a longarm quilter. I don’t design quilts to match Jan’s quilting. It’s the other way around. She has to figure out what to do with the tops I send her. As I progress, I send her pictures so by the time she receives the quilt she has a good idea as to how she’s going to quilt it. She has an amazing talent that I lack."
