welcome!

"You are a remarkable, inspirational teacher. You created an opening to a new world of quilting ideas! Thank you for sharing your magic!"--LoisMarie, Northwest Quilters, Portland, OR

"I can't tell you how long it's been since I had this much fun."--Paula H., Oregon Coastal Quilt Guild, Newport, OR

Recent teaching trips have been a blast. I always get as much inspiration as I give! And everyone gets a sneak preview of the fab projects in my next book, Quilt Blocks Go Wild! (set to come out in August).

I'm fine with bragging, friends, 'cuz just like my other books--such as Unforgettable Tote Bags and Skinny Quilts & Table Runners I and II, QBGW! showcases a range of designs from some of the best talents in the quilt world. Just like getting your choice of crazy fun workshops to take. I can't wait for you to see it!

Click here for lectures (OMGoodness, that's such a dry, schoolmarmy word for my fun and fabulous trunk shows!) and click here for the workshops I offer.

I'M FLEXIBLE, TO SERVE YOUR GUILD BETTER: I'll customize my presentations for your guild, and guarantee a good time. To help you fill that workshop, I'll send samples ahead to entice participation, illustrated flyers and class supply lists to clinch the deal, or share with neighboring guilds and groups so you get your numbers.
