I have co-authored four quilting books, designed over 100 published patterns, regularly write articles for quilting magazines and teach internationally and online at Quilt University.com. My work has been exhibited in Canada and the United States.

My goal as a teacher is to encourage students to try new techniques, to expand their skills and, most importantly, to have fun and enjoy the creative process. I consider myself a 'student' of fibre arts and work at developing my own skills by attending workshops and participating in associations that further the art of quilting.
