Home: Graham, Texas

I love fabric, sewing—and quilters! I design patterns for quilts that are visually stunning but easy to make. Since 1993, I’ve also shared my enthusiasm for quilting with others through teaching, near my home in Graham, Texas, and throughout the country.

In my simple, accurate No Diamonds / No “Y” Seams technique, there are no fussy bias edges and all the quilt assembly is done with straight-line sewing. Instructions are written in an easy-to-follow style, with cutting, layout and piecing diagrams to ensure success. Using my patterns, novice quilters can confidently make beautiful old-style quilts, while experienced quilters can enjoy fast, easy piecing with striking results.
