Instructor Bio:
My start in quilting began in 1981 with an Adult Education class in Orange, California that my Mother
signed me up for. I did not own a sewing machine, nor did I know how sew!!! It opened me up to the
best experience of my life, yes, I made every mistake one can make but with the help of many great
teachers I learned. I started teaching and lecturing in 1990 and have taught everything from Miniatures,
Piecing, Applique and Machine Quilting. What a ride for a reluctant quilter!
