Let Me Introduce Myself

I love quilts - antique quilts, traditional quilts, contemporary quilts! The craftsmanship speaks of love, comfort, and artistry. To me, every quilt tells a story. The colors and designs are like a snapshot of life.

I have enjoyed piecing quilts for many years. The past six years, I have been a longarm quilter by profession. As any quilter can confirm, it is the quilting that brings the quilt to life. In the countless hours I have spent "bringing quilts to life," I have developed a sincere appreciation for the story behind the quilt, whether it be traditional or abstract. I am intrigued by the picture and storyline the quilter has created through her use of color and design. I am privileged to be part of the overall result.

In the days ahead, I plan to explore the inspiration for a variety of quilt blocks and expand my appreciation for the many forms of quilt designs. I hope you'll join me!
