I am a fiber artist and I love what I do!  I’m a member of the Morgan Arts Council, the League of New Hampshire Craftsmen, the Piedmont Craftsmen’s guild and the Delectable Mountains Quilt Guild. I have an open studio during the Berkeley Springs Studio Tour on the fourth weekend in October.

Biography

My mother did try very hard to have me learn to hand stitch,but once I saw that sewing machine it was all machine all the time! After being a hand weaver for 25 years, I took to using the left over pieces of handwoven fabric to piece quilts. The rest is history.  I love quilting and making my own fabric by dyeing , printing and stamping on the fabric to make my own work.

In addition to my degree from Seton Hill University, I studied Art Education at New York University.  Many classes in fiber arts and many awards for the same!
