Welcome to my wonderful world of quilting!

For 20 years I was editor-in-chief of QUILT magazine, retiring in 2007. I now design quilts for several major fabric companies and for the leading quilt magazines. In the past year my quilts have appeared on the covers of The Quilter and Quilter's World magazines. More of my quilts were featured in Fons and Porter, McCalls, and Quilter's Newsletter magazines.

I also designed all of the quilts in the 2009 Block A Day Quilt Calendar.

Currently I am editing the journal of the National Quilting Association, The Quilting Quarterly. The NQA is a non-profit organization for quilters.

I have taught at major quilting events, including Quilt Festival, Houston; Quilting Retreat, Kanuga Conference Center, NC; and large and small quilt guilds throughout the country. I have presented programs at the Textile Museum in Washington DC, the Quilt Festival in Houston, and throughout England.

As a quilt show judge, I judged the first International Quilt Festival sponsored by the Internatiional Quilt Association in Salzburg, Austria and the Quilt Festival in Houston plus other quilt competitions throughout the United States, England and Canada.

In my "retirement" I am available to quilters for workshops, programs and as a quilt show judge. I may have retired from full time editing, but I will never retire from quilting!
