After more than 40 years of quiltmaking I have come to the conclusion that quilts are like potato chips: I can't sew just one!  I sew three kinds of quilts:  crazy quilts, quilts using fulled wool, and patchwork piecing (not traditional).

I invite you to browse around my site by clicking on the different styles of quilts. Some of these pages are heavy with graphics; please be patient while they load.  You might want to maximize your screen for easy viewing. 

I love to use my computer to play around with quilt designs. I also like to use quilt patterns on small gift items; check out my Quilter’s Refrigerator Magnets on the Patterns and Kits page. They are perfect to slip inside a card for a quilting friend, an inexpensive gift or thank you.

If you want to read a humorous, first person account of filming a segment of Simply Quilts, just click on the link to the left. My segment on fulled wool quilts was broadcast on HGTV as the 25th episode of the tenth season on September 20, 2004.

I've added several new pages such as the What's New page, Patterns and Kits, and finally a Links page.  I've also updated my Classes and Workshops page, should you be looking for a teacher for your guild.  I hope you find something interesting on each page.

To give you a taste of some of the new work I have been doing, below is a graphic of a fulled wool star block with a thread lace center square.  Thread lace is a wonderful way to use up those little leftover pieces of threads, yarns and fibers.  I keep a piece by my sewing machine so I can clean out the last bits of threads on my bobbins and spools.
