I am always amazed at the wealth of information this technology has made available, right at our fingertips, and hope that some of the blogs and websites I am able to share with you will be of inspiration, too.

I am a self-learner. I taught myself to sew and to quilt. And I taught myself how to draw. I love to dye my own fabrics, am a fanatic of free-motion quilting, and dabble with mixed media. I am a quilt designer and teacher, and design and publish my own line of quilt patterns. With this blog I would like to share the bits and pieces of my life.
