Welcome to my world of colorful quilts and creative adventures! I absolutely love visiting shops, teaching classes, chatting with guilds, and meeting sewing enthusiasts who share my passion for all things quilty. Whether you’re a seasoned quilter or just starting out, I can’t wait to share my tips, tricks, and inspiration with you.
About Me
I’m a scrap fabric junkie, that’s obsessed with colorful things, and a serial block maker. Oh, and I almost forgot… a Frenchie “collector.” As a BabyLock Ambassador, pattern designer, author, online educator, and now, a fabric designer. I have a passion for sharing my expertise, tips, and tricks with others through quilt lectures and workshops.
My creative journey began in the apparel industry, but once I discovered quilting, I was hooked. Blending traditional techniques with a fresh, modern twist, is my jam. My playful blocks are super easy to make and don’t need any fancy tools. If you love adding fun and whimsy to your quilting projects, you’re in the right place!
A bit about my lectures & workshops:
- I am highly interactive, informative, and like to keep things fun!
- My goal is to share simple tools and tricks to make you look like a ROCK STAR!
- Please note that questions are always welcome during the lecture and conversation is encouraged. Bring friends, a camera, and be ready to laugh!
- Workshops are geared towards comfortable beginners to intermediate students who have a good working knowledge of their own sewing machines.
- All of my workshops are casual and friendly. Consider them your mini sewing circle.
