I'm so glad that I photographed my quilts.  Most of them have been given to friends and family as gifts.

I learned how to quilt in 2000 in Olympia, WA.  Holly Bullock's Beginning Quilting.  
Quilting has been an obsession ever since.  

My favorite quilting projects are hand applique with machine quilting.  My favorite patterns come from Fons and Porter magazine.  

Making quilts from scraps is also a favorite.  I choose a square pattern from QuiltBlocksGalore.com and then use my scrap bags.  

Contrary to some beliefs.........I do not love quilting more than my husband.  Dennis is the biggest supporter of my addiction.
