Quilters are the storytellers of our generation, weaving tales and stitching stories with needles, fabric and thread. Inspiration for my quilts comes from observing natural, cultural and political landscapes. In the class setting, my goals are to encourage students to view creativity as an easily learned skill, to enjoy all aspects of the quilting process, remember the power of laughter, and never underestimate the mystery of chocolate. Thanks for Visiting!
