Artist Commentary

Label

"My Aunt Joe taught me to sew at the age of 6. At the age of 12, I made my first formal dress and at 19, I started my own company creating bridal and pageant wear. Sedona Rose started as an idea from a tiny piece of lace. The corner border comes from my bridal and pageant background and is all made by me. The crystals on the back--approximately 130,000--were heat set Swarovski crystals and took many hours to set. It was a challenge to make all these bright colors work together. My advice to anyone starting out as a quilter is practice, practice, practice. This means you have to have the dedication spend many hours learning all of the steps necessary to create your quilts. It also means that you must really love what you are doing."
