  • My Double Feature in Women Create: Podcast Guest & Magazine Story

    Back in 2021, I felt exhilarated to have been featured in the glossy pages of Women Create Magazine, a leading source of inspiration and information for artists and makers around the world.

  • Judith’s Seasons – Spring

    This is the second of four posts showcasing a series of quilts I’m making for Judith and her family in Cologne, Germany. The series is based on the four seasons, with each season consisting of one wall hanging and one large bed quilt.
