As quilters, we all love to learn new techniques and tricks, experiment with the latest products on the market, and learn fast and more accurate ways to piece. Why do something the hard way when there's a new process that's easier and looks just as good?

As your teacher, I focus on thse new and speedy methods. I adapt instruction to the skill level and needs of my students, and make the learning process fun and memorable for everyone. I'd describe myself as a patient optimist, pointing out the good in everyone's work, sharing insights so class members learn from each other - all in a very positive atmosphere. Students leave class with new knowledge and friendships, feeling energized and empowered. Class is educational and FUN!

All of my patterns and the projects in my books are available as classes. In addition, you can choose from a variety of others.

I offer a motivating lecture entitled, "Publishing your Designs" and another light-hearted and inspiring trunk show entitled "Threads in Time".

I am one of several artist teachers at Moose Mommas, an art retreat for women. My classes focus on fabric, whether it’s painting or sun printing your own cottons, fabric collage, or creating something unique with fabric. Read more about Moose Mommas here.
