I studied graphic design in college, but always found myself lingering in the textile department. After graduating and working in corporate marketing for several years, I finally discovered quilting and was hooked. Mixing pattern, color, and texture was a perfect fit for me, both as a quilter and a designer.

The clean lines and graphic images of modern design are a huge part of my happy place and I love the free spirit of improvisational piecing. But the rich history and longstanding techniques of traditional quilting have always been close to my heart, too. I am amazed that such a humble American art form could explode into the strong, international quilting community we see today.
So, to keep my sanity and stay true to myself, I choose to embrace it all - modern, improvisational, and traditional. By choosing elements from all three design styles in my work, I strive to create quilts that anyone can relate to. |
