I'm was born in Cleveland, OH.  I left Cleveland in 1975 to study geology at Wittenberg University in Springfield, OH.  While there, I met my husband, Brian, and we married and moved to Arizona after graduation.  We moved to Texas after three wonderful years in Flagstaff.

I learned to quilt in 1980 using traditional hand sewing methods.  Now, with the exception of a little hand quilting, I do all of my sewing by machine.  Since 1996 I've been teaching machine quilting and machine piecing locally in quilt shops and nationally as a part of the pattern company Itza Beach.  My work has become increasingly nontraditional and I've recently been exploring mixed media fiber-based art.

I bought a Gammill Classic in April, 2004.
