I have been quilting for over 20 years and enjoy using a variety of
techniques, creating my own designs from elements of traditional
patterns. My quilts have been exhibited both locally and nationally. Check out my quilt galleries.
Teaching quilting seems a natural extension of my passion and I find
it rewarding. Check out the lectures and classes
I offer.

In June 2004, I went
to Mongolia as a volunteer, to teach quilting to needy women in the capital city of
Ulaanbaatar. I returned in June 2006 to help organize the first
International Quilt Show in Mongolia. In collaboration with quilters from
England, we hosted a Mongolian
booth at the 2007 Festival of Quilts in UK. Check Mongolia
for more details and pictures. We raised $82,000 for our capital
campaign, and in September 2008 purchased a new Center! It has
a retail area with a shop front, a large classroom, a bathroom and kitchen/office
and is in an excellent location opposite the Mongolian BBQ on Seoul Street, 10 minutes walk from the heart of Ulaanbaatar.
