Hi! I live in upstate New York and began this phase in my quilting life about seven years ago. (I handquilted a piece for our queen size bed about twenty-five years ago and swore never again!) I have been involved in fiber arts in one way or another most of my life. This is definitely the first time I have accepted the title of artist. You can find more about me and a gallery of my work on my
website. I also have a blog,
Explorations in Quilting and Life, that I am really enjoying maintaining.
I am a member of
SAQA and the
Genesee Valley Quilt Club. It was through the Visioning Project of SAQA that I really began to develop as a fabric artist. My greatest accomplishment to date was having one of my quilts accepted into the No Place to Call Home exhibit of SAQA.

Art quilts are really my latest means of expressing myself in this world. I have done many things in my lifetime and volunteered in many capacities in various organizations. I find it fascinating that, diverse as these activities are, in many ways, they all tie together. These days I find I am finding more and more time in my days to create quilts and I am totally enjoying being part of the greater world quilting community.
I am really looking forward to participating in this blog in the coming months. Thanks for inviting me!
