About the Owner

I learned how to operate a sewing machine before the age of ten, starting with doll clothes and moving on to clothing and home goods. I admired my grandmother's quilts, but I didn't explore quilting myself until the late 70's, while in graduate school. I enjoyed a career working with teenagers in both Cincinnati and Naperville, Illinois, but I never stopped sewing.  I tried my hand at art quilts, and I love contemporary fabric artists, most notably Marcia Derse, Tula Pink, Seth Apter, and Tim Holtz.

 

I began teaching in Naperville, Illinois, where I found bits of time to continue making quilts. In the mid-1990s, with my husband David's encouragement, I began to explore the idea of creating a business, and I incorporated in 2001. I have made dozens of baby quilts, retirement quilts, commissioned quilts,  friends and family quilts, memory quilts and memory bears.  I have also finished and rehabilitated several heirloom quilts.

 

 

 

Nearing retirement from teaching, I purchased a Gammill Quilting System, a move which enabled me to do machine quilting on a larger scale.  My quilts keep their owners warm everywhere from California to Connecticut, and from Wisconsin to Texas.
