My proudest achievement has been teaching and sharing my knowledge of quilting  with thousands of students since 1985.

 I have been professionally machine quilting since 1985 and have completed more quilts than I can count for many individuals. It brings me great satisfaction to complete a quilt for someone to enjoy or to give as a gift of themselves.
