Trunk Show - An Eclectic Mix
I will share with you my quilts since 1989 and some of the lessons I have learned along the way. I started as a mainly self -taught traditional quilter, machine piecer and hand lap quilter. Over the years I started taking technique classes to understand how quilters were creating the wonderful are quilts I was seeing at shows. I have always been eclectic in other areas of my life and quilting is no different. I now use any technique I know of to achieve the end result…a beautiful unique quilt.

A
Certain Charm
Quilting with vintage needlework is something I have always loved to do. Vintage pieces have a certain charm you cannot recreate. It's also a great way to get those special pieces you inherited out of the closet where they can be enjoyed Let me share with you a variety of projects I have created over the years. I started out buying orphan quilt blocks and practicing my skills on small wall hangings. I now collect any vintage textiles to create my pieces with. I enjoy the challenge of working with all of the flaws and limitations the pieces appear to have.
