WELCOME TO MY STUDIO!
Show and tell time!! I love to make quilts, it’s my favorite thing!
Here are some of the quilts I’ve made over the years. Most of these are original quilts I made for Project Quilting, guild or online challenges. I also make functional quilts for our beds and throw quilts, but I don’t have as many good photos of those, because we put them to use so immediately!
