I was surrounded by a variety of vintage and antique textiles growing up and I learned most of my needlework skills from three generations of women in my family. I don't think they had any idea the influence it would have on my future creative and artistic endeavors.
These links will take you directly to a few of the national & international awards my quilts have won.
These are the major quilts that have won top awards in national and international competitions. All of the quilts are hand applique, hand embroidery and machine quilted on a domestic sewing machine.
