National Featured Quilter

Sewing has been a significant part of my life since childhood, influenced by my grandmother, mother, and aunt who were always sewing. Starting with handwork, I transitioned to garment sewing and then quilting, which has become my passion over the last twenty-five years.

Designing patterns is now a big part of that passion. As I've grown older, I've realized how vital this creative outlet is for me; it grounds me and enhances my focus. Sharing this passion through teaching and gifting quilts brings me immense joy.

Living in the Pacific Northwest on a small farm with my husband, we cherish our family, including four grown children, bonus children, and a flock of grandchildren. Witnessing both our family and farm flourish fills me with gratitude every day.

Not sure I ever imagined myself in the world of quilting, but here we are. What started as one time design job for Jennie Jo spiraled into many, many others and before I knew it we were partners!

Growing up, I spent most of my time drawing and crafting stories, so channeling that creativity into pattern design has been incredibly fulfilling. Each day, I find myself falling deeper in love with the art of quilting and the community that surrounds it. I’m so thankful to be part of this and can't wait to see where it takes us next!
