my quilts
A confession, right up front: I am NOT a professional quiltmaker! I am an amateur—a lover of the creative adventure of quiltmaking. I start each quilt with a plan, then I make it up as I go along.
With the pressures of my professional career in publishing and teaching, and all the usual demands of family and home, quilt designs reside mostly in my imagination. And most of my quilts that have been completed owe their material reality to the fact that someone's special birthday or life milestone, or a charity auction, or a quilt show was coming up...like, the next day.
Here I share some of my recent work. While nothing is for sale, I always welcome your opinions!

Quilt Statements
I've discovered that if you have something to say – the more personal or political, the better – it takes the pressure off the need to create "art." These messages quilts allow me to get things off my chest, and also give me more of a shot of having people take a second look at what I've done.
