I’d like to introduce myself as an enthusiastic, learning quilter. I am the mother of Jennifer, Ingrid, Paul and Ben and call myself “mom” to Holly. My husband, Andy supports and encourages my hobby, even to the point, at times, of ripping out my mistakes. This website has been established as an outlet for ideas, communication with fellow quilters and perhaps as a marketing tool. It is fun to share successes as well as failures and I hope on occasion perhaps an original idea!

My memories of sewing go back to naps on a cot in my mother's sewing room (dining room). I remember the sound of the scissors, her portable Singer sewing machine and the sound of her voice telling me to close my eyes. Mom was my 4-H sewing teacher and taught by example – machine work as well as hand work was done carefully and with precision.
