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 and again in 2009 to teach and visit the new Mongolian Quilting Center. 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 classroom, and a small office and is in an excellent location opposite Bd's Mongolian BBQ on Seoul Street, 10 minutes walk from the heart of Ulaanbaatar.
