| Occupation | Magazine Writer and Book Editor |
|---|---|
| Introduction | I am a magazine writer and quilt book editor by day and an avid quilter, dollmaker, and crafter by night. I have a passion for patterns of the past, though I appreciate many different styles of quilting. Living in an 1885 yellow brick Victorian home inspires me to create doll quilts and papier mache dolls reminiscent of yesteryear. I'm most at home surrounded by antiques and vintage finds that recall a simpler time. |
