I have been sewing since I was a little girl. There are many makers in my family including quilters, costume makers, crocheters, knitters, and the like. As a teenager, I attempted mastering patterns for clothing items including skirts, dresses and blouses. I dealt with the frustrating reality that handmade clothing is difficult to fit to a growing girl. I put away my sewing machine for a few years until I was blessed to marry into a quilting family. My dearest mother in law has been instrumental in helping me find my delight in sewing again. I have made several of my own quilts now and guess what? They all fit perfectly!

My family currently resides in Tulsa, OK but I am a born and raised Idaho gal. I love to hike and explore the outdoors. I love catching frogs and turtles for my kiddos to hold and I haven't gotten over the excitement of seeing a lightning bug yet. I like my coffee cold and my books hot. And I can't wait to make more quilty friends!
