A Lifetime in Stitches

From Quilter to Designer

 I’ve been quilting since 1971, and what began as a love of fabric and making has grown into a lifetime of creativity. Sister of The Divide is where I share that journey—from quilting and longarm work to original patterns and surface design.

A Lifetime of Quilting

 More than five decades of quilting have taught me that there is always something new to learn, try and share—one stitch at a time.

Always Designing

 Whether I’m piecing a quilt, drawing a new motif or building a fabric collection, there is usually another idea waiting to become something.
