Introduction	I use hand-dyeing, needle felting, and wet felting to enhance my extreme-quilted fiber reliefs. I also design traditionally constructed contemporary quilts. I teach classes on art and quilting and draw on my past life (as a trained journalist, copywriter, and freelancer) to write articles and essays on quilting and the business and philosophy of art.
