I have been a quilter for the past 50 years. In 1996, I opened a retail quilt store, and in 2011, we closed the store and moved our custom quilting business into our home. You could say my life is quilting. I became a member of SAQA in an unusual way. I was gifted anonymously with a membership. I decided to join the exhibition committee as a way to pay back the gift. I also belong to the local Sarasota quilt guild and have served in several board positions. I have been the guild librarian for the last 7 years.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

As an artist, I am intrigued by the process, always trying to push the boundaries and see how far I can take a process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I discovered the world of surface design in 2008 and have since studied with leading artists, including Kerr Grabowski and Gasali Adeyemo. I also completed Jane Dunnewold\u2019s two-year Art Cloth Mastery Program.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
