At the age of 14, I taught myself to sew on my Mother’s Black Vintage Singer Sewing Machine.  My Aunt Elsa, from Germany, sent me a dress pattern (written in German, of course).  With pictures and my Mom’s help, I finished the dress in time to wear on Easter Sunday.   I went on to make several other garments, including a beautiful long royal blue dress that I wore on my Wedding Day when I married my High School Sweetheart 47 years ago! We have two wonderful children, two beautiful granddaughters and two handsome twin grandsons.  My husband and I reside in Stafford, VA.

As a quilt artist, I began designing some of my own Art Quilts and Bags.  For the last five years, I have designed quilts for the Hoffman Challenge that have traveled to some of the largest Quilting/Sewing venues in the United States.  I am a former member of the Cabin Branch Quilter’s Unlimited Chapter and a current member of Piedmont Modern Quilt Guild.

As a longarm quilter, I help choose designs that would fit for the quilt.  I enjoy helping others pick and match fabrics for their projects.

Quilting is my passion and it shows in my handmade pieces.
