Artist • Teacher • Author I love what happens when fabric, thread, color, words, and ideas come together. For me, making a quilt is a conversation, a dance between the idea I begin with, the materials in my hands, and the piece that gradually tells me what it wants to become. My work ranges from art quilts to celebration and memory quilts to my take on something more traditional. And there's always a story. I also teach and lecture, sharing the techniques I use and the lessons I've learned through years of making quilts, writing about them, teaching other quilters, and occasionally talking about them in front of a camera. Coming October 4 I’m delighted to be returning to The Quilt Show! I'll be sharing some of my quilts and demonstrating woodblock printing and how to make my quick and easy Trees quilt. Check out Show #3907 when it airs on October 4. I’ll have more to share here when the episode goes live. About Moonlighting Quilts Through Moonlighting Quilts I share my love of quilting locally in the DC metropolitan area and nationally at quilt shows and for quilt guilds. I lecture, I lead workshops, I teach art quilt classes locally, and I create quilts for clients, often celebrating special events or the life of a lost loved one. I also offer a few original patterns for sale and as workshops. A lot of the work I do is for clients. You may be celebrating a birth or a wedding. Perhaps you are commemorating the life of someone you've loved and lost. Maybe you have bags and boxes of clothing and artifacts that you can't bear to throw away but you're not sure how to use. I understand these projects are intensely personal. I'd be happy to talk with you and help you decide on your next steps. Let me help you tell the story in a celebration quilt.
